Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Grandpa and Grandma for me (although maternal grandmother was Gramma because that's how she spelled it, not how I said it).
Oh, Father's Day--I have to get stuff! I'm debating if I want to splurge and pick him up some Omaha Steaks, which he would love.

I called my grandparents Dod and George and Sam and Barbara. We wuz free-thinkin' hippies.
My kids have Grandma Debbie and Grampy Don, Grandma and Grandpa (lastname), and Grandpa Toby and Grandma Terry.

Both sets of grandparents were Grandmom & Grandad to us sometimes with the last name appended if there would be confusion. My parents are Granny & Grandad.
How was it, flea?
I had no Grandfathers, and called my Grandmothers Honey (she wasn't the Grandma type) and Nanny Gay (Gay = her last name). My parents are Granny and Papa. My mom is far too young (and looks younger than she is) to be Granny, but that's what she wanted. MiL will be called Grandma.
Grandma and Grandpa on one side, Poppa and Nana on the other. I have no idea what my putative children would call my mother.
