    Default the weirdest father champion.

    Say there is a championship where fathers compete against one another to be chosen as the weirdest father.

    How should I call the champion of the competition?
    I want to include the word "champion" in the phrase.

    Is "the weirdest father champion" acceptable,
    as in "he is the weirdest father champion of the world"?

    Thanks

    I'd go for 'Champion Weird Father', if I had to decide.
    bhaisahab and rainous like this.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    It's a rather unusual competition but if it existed then yes, I think the winner would be called "The 'Weirdest Father' World Champion" or something similar.

    There is a "Pie-Eating World Champion" and other very strange champions!

    Thanks.

    "You are the champion weird father!"

    Does it give you a sense that the speaker is making fun of whoever the champion is?

    because that's what I am going for.

    If you're just trying to be funny and you're not actually trying to come up with an official title, then in a jokey tone of voice, I would say something like "If there were a 'Weirdest Father' competition, you'd be World Champion!!"
