Okay, now THAT is weird ... Of the four cousins and two ... grand cousins I guess ... that new my dad's parents, ALL of us called them Mommom and Poppop.
MC: Meemaw
Erika/Daphne/Emma: Grandma (even in the unpatched version, as they don't know they are clones)
Martha: Mom/Olivia (patched/unpatched)
Norah: Mom (My mother/your Grandma when talking with one of the kids)
Betty: Olivia (sometimes your mother/your Grandma/my sister when talking with others)

To be honest.. I am not from "the south" (in proper accent tone), nor is any part of my family or influence thereof, but the "Meemaw" moniker I had never really heard outside of meme worthy jabs at certain political families or the "butt" end of jokes about deep south inbred hick families who have never seen the light of normal society (and should never). So seeing it in this game was like "Ok... porn game.. porn logic.. almost anything goes.. sure why not.. half the stuff in porn games are parodies and memes anyway..sure". But used here, its an endearing tone rather than any of disrespect or belittling. So I guess its refreshing to see. Although.. half the time I read it.. I still hear it in Seth Meyers's voice in my mind. ;)
I got it from The Big Bang Theory, as Dragon59 and blobbo66 said.

It's also the term Sheldon Cooper used for his grandmother.
It's stated that the MC copied it from Alt-Sheldon on day 6 when Norah and Martha were talking about inviting Olivia to spend some days with them:
mom "[mc] won her over the day he called her "Meemaw" because of that scientist TV series. And he had no idea that's what she called her grandmother."

I come from an Appalachian family so I've heard the term. Mommaw/poppaw were your grandparents, meemaw/peepaw were your great grandparents. Just my two cents. It's all good in the end...

Wait.. He was thinking Grandma's House.. which.. its totally totally possible we are in the same plane of existence and who knows... there are tons of things that go on (we assume) outside of what we do see of the My Dorm story, that who's to say that the main character of My Dorm is in contact somehow someway with the main character of Grandma's House and decides to go "Hey I got an idea for a bumper sticker you can sell in your garage." and....there we go.

-- the only sorta not really bad thing about Trop not having read GH or some of other ones, to avoid accidentally stealing ideas or concepts, is there potential for so many cross overs it could end up hilarious and enjoyable.

Trust me, Trope is 100% aware of GH ...

It could also be a smaller cameo, Our MC is on vacation with the Family and something to the car and he has to stop at a Garage which just so happens to be "Grandma's Garage" (I'll call it that now because I don't remember if we named it already)
and there he sees the bumper sticker as a joke articel
