"This is America, we speak English," said the person posting their question on the World Wide Web.

America doesn’t even have an official language so this person isn’t just an asshole, they’re also stupid!

@@_ArmIa A one-second google search will reveal that the United States does have a national language, and it is, in fact, English.

[@StarrsMillStudyHelp]

@@Alicorn_ but its not. Which i confirmed with a 1 second google search. Source?

[@Alicorn_]

@@StarrsMillStudyHelp en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States#Language "English ... is the de facto national language of the United States." It goes on to talk about there being no "official language" dictated by the federal government (or however that would work in the US, I'm not American), so perhaps there's a conversation to be had about it. But if their laws are written in English, if the education system requires English, if English is recognized by most states as the "official" language, and it's the only language spoken by the large majority of the citizenry, the I don't think the statement "America doesn’t even have an official language" is very honest if it's being used to imply the United States has no language preference.

Why not calling her LOOK OUT, IT'S PAM!

[@featherbird666]

I do a similar thing! My brother and i call my mum's stepmum Granny Emmy. Her name's christine tho so idk why we do that.

That’s so cute!

Pammygram is VERY good.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

[@LlamasOnJUPITER]

fun fact about griffin's "daddad" suggestion: that's actually how they do it in swedish. two ways to say grandpa are morfar and farfar; mom's dad and dad's dad, respectively.

[@LlamasOnJUPITER]

while they dont do it with cousins, they do do it with aunts and uncles

[@ThePhantomBeaver]

mormor is more like mothermother, and farmor is like fathermother

[@lastlife0726]

I can't believe that's where Morfar's name came from

[@UnironicScrotumhat]

FARFAR? OOOOOH VAFAN

[@thomasstanley6101]

We always called my great grandpoppy,"Two Daddy"

[@liamwhite3522]

My grandfather, before I was born, was asked by my father, his son, what he wanted me to call him. He was a teacher, and so, jokingly or not, suggested 'Sir'. I to this day cannot fathom his actual name, because he is simply Grampa Sir to me for all time.

[@megalomaniacalHalide]

Peepums nasty gum was Justin's invention, but also his undoing. The man wheezes and collapses upon his own comedy petard. A legend.

[@RadioactiveCheese0]

I really like how justin was the one who suggested peepums and he was the one who laughed about it the most

[@Norsilca]

Oh my god, Progenitor Prime.

In South Africa we say oupa, which literally translates to old dad

My favorite fucking thing is Justin losing his mind.

[@funnyhomunculus3353]

BEHOLD, GRAND MASTER-DAD PHILLIP!

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

I call my grandpa Grampus. It sounds even funnier when you start to imagine a whale that produces a sound that resembles a laughing old man.

[@goatision2895]

when I become a grandpa I will require my grandchildren to only refer to me as “master dad”

[@salzshakes4895]

Reminds me of the Prairie Home Companion skit about grandparent names (it's on KZbin I'm pretty sure) "Two sets of grandparents called the same thing? Who does that?" "Everybody? Everybody does that." "I wanna be called gumgum." "I wanna be called flipflop." "Jeebergeeber and Bupbup." "Bubbles and Dabadoo." "Peaches and Guapo?" "Jabberwocky and Timtam." Good stuff.

[@transrights7273]

So, my mother's parents: Nana and Pop. Simple, normal names. MY FATHER'S PARENTS: Rocky and Sue Sue. My grandmother is named Susan, but my grandfather is named William. To this day, I have no idea why we call him Rocky.

[@Bumbillion]

We call my dad's dad Bumpy and I think it can't get better than that honestly.

[@saturnoperative4484]

this is the only mbmbam bit besides 'shitty tim' that has made me full-on break down into real tears while completely alone in my own home. thank you brothers

[@deerlydeparted56]

I've been listening to this show for five years. to this very day whenever I think of "mbmbam bits" my IMMEDIATE first thought is peepum's nastygums.

[@amt253]

I called my daddad “G-Daddy.” I didn’t realize that was funny until high school

[@sugarsuture]

Well, the german names for grandpa and grandma are Großvater and Großmutter which literally translate to "Big Father" and "Big Mother" which I think have a lot of potential.

[@coykoi5128]

I really appreciate this comment section because it's equal parts people talking about their weird names for their grandparents and multilingual people talking about the literal translation of grandma/pa in their language, and honestly it's very good thank you all for sharing

[@doctrfaustus1738]

i legit called my grandpa daddad

[@pluutonius]

We call my Grandad a normal name, Lou. It's weird, because his real name is Keith.

[@devo536]

This might be my all time favourite bit. I cry from laughing almost every time omg

[@makeshift-moth]

Peepums nasty gum makes me lose my mind every time

[@awbeans3294]

i remember listening to this episode and many others before and after very vividly. i was binging all of them during a roadtrip to mexico, and this bit in particular reminds me of sitting in the bed of a pickup truck in the night. what a weird thing to comment but like. im glad i can associate such a homely trip with such neat guys

[@rorytelling]

My grandpa is Boppy and idk how that happened. That's how I translated "Grampie" into baby talk I guess

"great grand master dad"

[@wishtopublish]

in my language, you dont say cousin, you will straight up say, "materal aunt son" or"paternal uncle daughter". though we dont have a word for great aunts and uncles, so there's that.

[@epoillaKory]

wishtopublish Which language is this?

[@mint4876]

I call one of my grandpa's bumpa

[@samanbr7917]

The cousin thing is like that in farsi too, it's "uncles son" or "uncles daughter"

[@wishtopublish]

Yasamine BR Its even more complicated: technically it's "paternal uncle's son" or "maternal aunt's son" or something

[@chrissiwhalley9315]

My mother who has three grandchildren refers to herself as 'The Glam-mamma' ("Come and give The Glam-mamma a cuddle sweetie!" etc) and it makes me and my sisters cringe! still embarrassing me into my thirties, cheers mum!

[@SpentGladiator]

griffin “i revolutionized it with dad-dad” as if that’s not the exact same thing as pop-pop

[@KonamiCoda]

I like that at the end Griffin just stumbles onto the Swedish method of extended family names. grandma for instance; Mormor = mother's mother, farmor = father's mother

[@eccentricweirdootaku]

I was holding something when justin said "peepums" and I laughed so damn hard that I accidentally tossed it into the air and dropped it on the floor

[@raneemrashid6439]

i didn't see anyone mentioning Asia here, so fun fact: in pretty much every collectivist country that values family really highly, you DO talk about your extended family pretty often. This has fallen out of favor as your status in society is determined less and less by your relatives and i actually have no idea how frequently the 'proper' terms are used in modern society but the words still exist. In Mandarin Chinese for example there are specific words for pretty much your entire close and extended family and you just number them oldest to youngest- yi, er, san, etc and just append that number (or title, like 'big' or something related to their job/appearance) to however they happen to be related to you. Also a whole bunch more formal terms that have mostly fallen out of favor, but culturally I'm given to understand that you can still use them if you want to look cute/suck up. Kind of like calling your mom 'mother dearest' when you want a favor.

[@galladegamerletsplays]

GRAND DAD

[@AngelofGrace96]

oh shit this is the origins of pepum's nasty gum I've heard that being referenced for years

[@flippanties]

does no one in the US use grandad? I've never heard anyone use anything but grandad here in the UK.

[@AlexanderHarris]

Flippant Phantom - To my knowledge, no. But our country's so huge that regional dialects spring up all over the place. I will say that here in central Illinois I generally hear "Grandpa". "Grandfather" is also used, but never directly. Like, you wouldn't say "Grandfather, could you do something for me?", but you might say, "This is my Grandfather." I occasionally hear "Nana" in place of "Grandma", but it seems fairly rare. "Grandmother", as with "Grandfather", is simply too formal to be used directly. Lastly, and I don't know how widespread this is or if this is only from personal experience, but pronunciations of "Grandpa" and "Grandma" tend to fluctuate based on how quickly you say the word because switching from a d-sound to a p-sound or m-sound is obnoxious. So you might hear someone say "Granpa", "Grampa", "Granma", or "Gramma", although you'll never see anyone spell it that way. So there you have it, a completely incomplete look at one tiny sliver of one state in the middle of the United States on what people call their grandparents. XD

[@MyDarkerSide3]

Flippant Phantom yes we do

[@AlexanderHarris]

PlushTrumpLips - What region of the US are you from?

[@rubyc102]

I'm from the Midwest. I hear granddad occasionally but most people say grandpa pronounced "grampa" and would say grandfather if being formal, usually (always?) when speaking indirectly. I personally call one grandma "grandma" and the other one "Nana," and my sort of step grandma is "grandma first name"and my grandfathers are "grandpa" and "grandpa first name" :)

[@loganplourde886]

Grampy for me

[@sugaxshyxtype]

maybe it's a regional thing, but I have never met anyone who calls their grandparents MeeMaw and PeePaw and those sound really cute to me.

[@MattyRude910]

Lots of meemaws in the south but usually is a pappy or a papa

[@66texas]

proteus is deadass a genera of protists or smthn

[@90geekgirl06]

In Swedish they say farfar or morfar depending on what side of the family they're from- translated literally it means "dad-dad" or "mom-dad."

My nieces and nephew call my Dad "Grumpa" and my Mom is "Oma". Their other grandparents are "Opa" and "Grandma".

[@AceAttorny]

One of my cousins calls our grandpa "dad" because his mother forgot to stop calling him that in the kid's presence and he just took it over.
