Pikies / northerners called their mum mam
And gayfag southern poofs and fairies call their mam's mum
Oh god its getting confusing now.
Just another North/South divide issue it seems then
Familiar or colloquial terms for mother in English are:
mom or mommy, in most of North America (especially the U.S.).
mum or mummy, is used in the UK, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.
Ma, Mam or Mammy is used in Ireland and Northern areas of the UK; it is also used in some areas of the US.
Maa, Amma, Mata is used in India and sometimes in neighboring countries, originating from the Sanskrit matrika and mata
"mama" is used in many countries, but is considered a Spanish form of "mother"
The Hindu mother goddess Parvati feeding her son, the elephant-headed wisdom god Ganesha
In many other languages, similar pronunciations apply:
mama in Polish, Russian and Slovak
māma (妈妈/媽媽) in Chinese and Japanese
máma in Czech and in Ukrainian
maman in French and Persian
ma, mama or Ibu in Indonesian language
mamma in Italian and Icelandic
mamãe or mãe in Portuguese
Ami in Punjabi
mama in Swahili
eema (אמא) in Hebrew
má or mẹ in Vietnamese
mam in Welsh
eomma (엄마, pronounced [ʌmma]) in Korean
In many south Asian cultures and the Middle East the mother is known as amma or oma or ammi or "ummi", or variations thereof. Many times these terms denote affection or a maternal role in a child's life.

Depends where you're from obviously.
I like how the people that call their Mothers "Mum" automatically say everything else is wrong or "Northern" or "American"
It's not at all, its regional differences thats all, it's like how you Southern faires put a ****ing "r" in the middle of words!
"I'm going for a barth"
No you're not, you're going for a bath!
