paste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dads ultimately get some' is the wordplay.
'dads' becomes 'pas' ('pa' can be a synonym of 'dad').
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
'some' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The last letter of 'get' is 't'.
'pas'+'t'+'e'='PASTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paste that I've seen before include "not real rock" , "Sticky stuff" , "Food for spreading or fixative" , "Thoroughly beat" , "Pulped meat; adhesive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
