grandpops
Dad's dad, informally
Grandpops is an informal, affectionate term for grandfather.
It carries a casual, familiar tone, often used by grandchildren or when speaking fondly of one's grandfather: Grandpops taught me how to fish.
The word belongs to a family of similar variants—grandpa, grandpop, gramps—all warmer than the formal grandfather.
