[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s really funny to me is (i grew up in italia) that Papa means Pope in italian... and papà is dad in Italian... so when i hear Americans use papa for dad... it literally drives me nuts .. just use DAD or DADDY.. if you really want to use another word then use it correctly... Papa = Pope Papà = Dad[/quote] Except outside of Italian, papa can mean dad. I don’t know why you are assuming people are using the Italian word? It’s an extremely common name around the world. If I met people who weren’t Italian using papá, I would find it pretentious. But papa is much more common.[/quote]
