Grandmom is a warm, informal American English term for grandmother — particularly associated with Philadelphia and the mid-Atlantic states, where it's the standard everyday word used in place of 'grandma' or 'nana'. While 'grandma' dominates most of the US, 'grandmom' has a distinctly regional flavour that Philadelphians wear as a badge of local identity. It's used naturally in family conversation, social media posts, and any context where you'd refer to your grandmother in a casual, affectionate way.
