Pearl has perfected the art of looking hot whilst pregnant! And full marks to Papa Loaf for being the gentleman and carrying the bags.

Heavily pregnant and still in decent shoes, what a woman

Yes, a woman always should wear killer shoes. She does look very good pregnant. And Meat is such a gentleman carrying her bags. That baby is going to be so spoiled!

**The Flying Mouse** · 09 Jun 2011, 23:50

Sorry to go off topic here, but doesn't the word "papa" indicate father?

Anyone mind if I change the title of this thread to "Meat's going to be a grandad", because it's driving me nuts

Papa is a common name for "Grandfather" also...

duke knooby · 10 Jun 2011, 00:53

and no one mentions the banjo, lol

suzieq · 10 Jun 2011, 01:09

I mind. Papa is a term of endearment for a grandfather.

You are right Suzie, in many cultures it is a term of endearment for a grandfather. I called my grandfather Papa

RSG · 10 Jun 2011, 01:43

I totally dislike poparzzi shots. I assume that's what these are. But they're there and I can say Woww Pearl is looking really great! And I say that cause I probably would be the guy to tell her that provided we ever been introduced.
Way to go Pearl! I know one thing for sure, it would be tough for me just trying to go out and people start randomly pictures of myself. Yeah Meat is a gentleman. But not just cause he holding the bags. Cause I also know a few people that would just want to holler or spit at someone taking their picture.

But if anything I learned while my ex was pregnant. You gotta keep good viabrations in the air as much as you can.
Congrats again to the Aday's and Ian's.

Actually I don't think it is at all common here in the UK .. grandpapa perhaps, but I have never heard papa used to refer to grandfather, as a term of endearment or not. I have to say I found it bizarrely misleading when I first saw it

And this is a UK forum after all so I have every sympathy with Mouse on this occasion.

suzieq · 10 Jun 2011, 04:45

With all due respect, I'm glad to help with the terms used here in the States....Nana and Papa are not uncommon. Whether it be named a UK forum or whatever, we are a melting pot of nationalities here, we should be open to new terms. And really, I've been more than once mislead on a thread title and never asked to have it changed no matter what nationality the person who started it was. I simply disagree. I mean absolutely no disrespect, I just felt I needed to clarify.

I absolutely agree with you Suzie.

RSG · 10 Jun 2011, 05:24

Totally agree with u too Suzieq.

A Slice Of English · 10 Jun 2011, 08:39

And as a strong proponent of the use of English rather than American-English, even I feel that "Papa" is a perfectly acceptable term in this instance. Meat is American himself, remember, and is probably quite happy with the use of the terminology. Let's not get all elitist over the use of a predominantly American term for someone who is themselves and American. Seems rather silly to me.

**Monstro** · 10 Jun 2011, 09:45

Last thing I heard referred to as "Papa" was a Smurf

I don't particularly like the term myself since I tend to think of it as referring to a father and not a grandfather but I don't think the thread should be renamed unless Meat objects to it.

Me too!

And all I did was agree with the moderator who found it misleading, as did I from the beginning (and at least two American friends). That it's not changed will cause me to lose no sleep ..

.. but I think we are all entitled to express our view

Papa has always mean't Grandpa to me, but its a much more fond way of saying it.

Fair enough, no sweat.
I only asked if anyone minded, you mind, so I won't change it.

Agreed.
Meat is American so it's perfectly in order to refare to him as Papa, if Papa is an American term for grandfather.

Actually (confession time), the reason I really wanted to change the title from "Papa" is that every time I read that word it puts me in mind of a war criminal famous for the torture and murder of thousands who's nickname was "Papa".
It's just a clear association I have with the word (not being a common term in England) and I prefare not to think of such things in conjunction with Meat Loaf

AS I said in the original post though, it's off the topic and I just wanted to know if anyone minded a thread name change, you do mind, so it stays the same

Back to the topic..................

LucyK! · 10 Jun 2011, 20:02

Is there really any risk of someone reading this and thinking Meat's about to be a father again?! No disrespect to the guy - I'm sure he still has it in him! - but I'm sure everyone's aware Meat's about to be a Grandad/Grandfather/Papa/Grandpapa. Whislt the title might not be "English" I don't think it's causing too much confusion

And to get back on topic....baby names!!! Wonder what they'll come up with for the Little Loafer!

Cherry.Loaf · 11 Jun 2011, 00:22

I hope they give it a non weird name! Pink had her baby this week and called it Willow Sage Hart which I think is a lovely name but we shall see; when is Pearl due?
