grandpas
Dads of dads
Grandpas is the plural of grandpa, an informal word for grandfather.
The term carries warm, familiar connotations: Both my grandpas served in World War II.
Like grandpa itself, grandpas suggests affection rather than formality—you'd say grandpas at a family gathering, grandfathers in a legal document.
