Everybody on my side of the family say mawmaw and everybody on my wife’s side of the family say meemaw. One of my wife’s family members sometimes teases me for saying mawmaw. I know everybody got their own word they call their grandma but I think saying meemaw is retarded….

MawMaw:raised less than 30 minutes from the bayou. family from parishes your yank friends can't pronounce.

MeeMaw:raised closer to vast quantities of sugar cane and dirt than water.

Mammy:Appalachia, land of too many mountain dews and cokes.
