      • 1900, Harry B. Norris (lyrics and music), “Burlington Bertie”:
        Burlington Bertie's the latest young jay
        He rents a swell flat somewhere Kensington way
        He spends the good oof that his pater has made
        Along with the Brandy and Soda Brigade.
      • 1923, Warwick Deeping, The Secret Sanctuary‎[1], e-artnow, published 2021:
        The pater is the kindest-hearted old soul, but there are times when he hates me. I'm a thing which every decent middle-class person hates, a problem, like the unemployed, you know, or the ex-soldier. We are always in such a hurry to forget uncomfortable things, and I'm an uncomfortable thing. Poor old dad; he gets me at breakfast; he gets me in the morning paper.
      • 1985, Mick Hucknall, Neil Moss (lyrics and music), “Holding Back the Years”, in Picture Book, performed by Simply Red:
        Strangled by the wishes of pater / Hoping for the arms of mater / Get to me the sooner or later
