Originally, in sex-Web terms, a male playing the disciplinarian role with a bratty little girl (generally in their 20s -- I'd think "cred" would be an issue at SOME point...), Anyway, nowadays there are lots of female "daddies" disciplining their "littles" -- this photo illustrating the result.

If you observe closely, you'll note she's serving as a table for someone's drink (likely her domme's); I presume the discipline will be meted out should she SPILL the drink. (Or some new infraction will suggest itself...)
As for me, check out the second comment below...
