What do you call your parents/grandparents?
I call my mom and dad, well, mom and dad. There did used to be a time that they were mommy and daddy, until I was about 6 I'd say. And my grandparents were always grandma and grandpa.
I never said mama, granny, pops or anything like that. But I know some people do. And some names are even more unique.

Grandfather on my pop's side was Nonno(Italian for gpops, we pronounced it Nah-new though) and grandma is Mere(French for mother)
gpops on my moms side was Beepaw(eldest cousin couldn't say Grandpa as a kid and it just stuck through the fam) and grandmother is Grammy.

yeah my buddy growing up always did that..still does to this day. he'll say things like "yeah Dave's gonna be at the poker game tonight."
"oh, you mean your dad?"
"yeah, dave"
edit- I honestly think he started copying it from Bart Simpson
