It's days like this when I wish I talked to my family more so I could find out what the latest news is on the Nickname Cold War, but I don't because I got so sick of said drama I told them all to gently caress off. Last I heard one aunt wanted to be called Cricket for some reason, which really really angers the aunt who Keeps Trying to Make Mimi and Poppers happen. Thus of course the faction of the family against Mimi and Poppers (everyone outside her household) immediately adopted Cricket enthusiastically. I think they could solve all of this by making up a nickname to apply to this aunt to see how she'd like it, but apparently that's Going Too Far.

i remember my friend and his brother who were grown adults were fighting because my friend was trying to have sex with a girl when he noticed a little red light coming from underneath the door. For whatever reason his brother put a video camera at the base of the door to record them having sex and their screaming at each other and the little brother started bringing up things from the past so full on yelling he says "You never said you were proud of me! You make me look like a fool in front of Grammy and Popaw all the time!"

Southerners have been doing this forever. My Tennessean FIL is Papa, his dad was papaw, papaw’s dad was paw-paw, etc. The trend of using bizarre names like boombunt and clanlee is 100% boomers not wanting to feel old despite being loving seventy.

'Poppers' are of course the amyl nitrate capsules used by some gay men, which they break and sniff in order to loosen their assholes for easier penetration. This may or may not be apt. 'Mimi', amonst other meanings in different languages, is slang for 'vagina'.

Years back I was out drinking with friends and the gay dude in the group shared his poppers with us. It just felt like taking a big deep lungful of actetone fumes, not a fun rush. I had hoped for something much more exciting.

When my sister was really little she randomly decided to start calling our grandmother "Munga" which lasted for a few days until grandma pulled my mom aside and said she did not like it and my sister needed to stop. My mom related this story to my sister and I as adults, and now ever since we have been threatening to use that as our mom's nickname if either of us ever has kids.

IMO let these old buggers be called something ridiculous if they want. The more ridiculous names the better. It should be something cool, like Godzilla and Ln106 hilux.

What if both of the gramps turns out gay and marry other old men. Technically then junior will have four grandpas..and that would just be confusing. I support having as many nicknames as possible for these instances.

Knormal posted:They should be stackable. Your Mom's parents should be Mom Mom and Mom Dad. Your Dad's should be Dad Mom and Dad Dad. Your Mom Dad's parents should be Mom Dad Mom and Mom Dad Dad. It makes the genealogy nice and clear, and avoids all those annoying multiple grandma and grandpas you end up with otherwise. That's how we do it in Swedish: Father and mother is far & mor, so grandparents are farfar, farmor, morfar & mormor. Next generation it's farmorsfar etc. Pinecone Sample posted:all of the gen x grandparents I am starting to see are so terrified of being called "grandpa" because that means a slow driver and they insist on being called poo poo like Big P. you're not the older kid who lives up the block. you're a senior citizen. As a compromise call him Señor C.

I feel bad for kids that were like "I'm going to visit my Nam-nam and The Colonel" like they were getting drat chicken but their dad made them call him "Sir" instead of dad and Grandpa was a war hero so you will use his title
