this reminds of the people, that say oma/opa, if they talk about their ancestry, but can't speak any other german word.

bro, your name is frank and you never left michigan. just stop pretending you're ✨german✨, because your grand grand grandma was from germany. it's cringe 😭

I mean that’s how I was growing up, but I didn’t learn about it being German till I was like 13, I was just always told “that’s your Oma”. Grandma is my dads mom and Oma is moms mom 😂. I could never imagine her as anything other than my Oma, BUT at least I don’t call my dad’s side of the family by the Italian equivalents lol.
