Definition
Plural of granddad; multiple grandfathers or grandfathers collectively.
Etymology
Standard plural of 'granddad,' an informal British and American variant of 'grandfather' that emerged in the 19th century.
Kelly Says
'Granddad' has become so common that many people don't realize it's relatively informal—it shows how each generation creates its own family vocabulary that feels normal to them but would sound casual to their great-grandchildren.
