I see it a lot, British people calling their Mums “Mom”.
Is this a regional specific thing that I’m not yet aware of (like cobs and barm cakes for bread rolls) or just a lazy US import thing? I always assumed Mom was an Americanism?
I know some regions use Mam, I’m sure there are other variations!
What do you call your Mum (or Mom or Mam)?  |

Whilst there are a few UK regional versions of Mom, it's generally viewed as more of an American based version and has, like many American words and phrases, worked its way into our English language.

Quite a lot of things have been adopted by our American cousins. Prom night. Baby showers. Gender reveals. Even halloween has grown massively the last few years. |

From what I remember, Mom is commonly jlused in Birminham and Thr Black Country.
Pronounced like "de Montford" but with an M ay the end instead of a ntford |

"Mom is an Americanism, like mon and pop stores, that no one would say here
What is a pop store "
A mom and pop store is a type of traditional store run by a male and female couple. Pop relates to the dad, rather than a fizzy drink. |
