My grandma was the same way minus the schnapps, she used to stay up with me to watch monster movie marathons. I remember watching King Kong vs. Godzilla at like 3 a.m. and feeling impossibly tired, and she was like "come on, you're missing it" when I started nodding off. RIP your oma. |

thanks guys! omas are great @tony sounds like a good oma :) i remember zapping through the programs with her at night. she always gave me the remote. and when i zapped into porn she started laughing like a little girl saying schweinkram!!!. sounds weird but i think its still funny my oma didn't really give me schnapps, but she always had those bonbons with alcohol in them. she took it out before she gave them to me, but obviously there was still some alc left in there… |

rip oma does oma mean on the mother's side or father's side? |
||||||||

oma stands for grandmother, so it can be from both sides. my oma was my moms mom |

May your ouma rest in peace. My one ouma was German, but succumbed to cancer before I was even born. In Afrikaans ouma literally translates to “old mother” in English. |

you're both right its not in the English vocab, |

the word oma comes from german kids trying to say Großmutter, which became Großmama, which became omama, which became oma |
||||||||
|

|
Großvater is great cos it sounds like gross and farter someone who doesn't particularly smelly farts, and that's really apt for grandfathers |

German is a very fancy pant language. I speak one of the youngest, simplest languages and our minds definitely reflect that. Anyway, I don’t mean to detract from the doncks obviously sweet gran so I’ll just stfu now. |
