“..Hispanics...call all girls Mami and all boys Papi.”
Yes, I don’t know if all Spanish people do that, but the ones I’ve known in the NYC area certainly do.
It always seems so silly and cute to me when you call a little baby Mami or Papi, it’s like role reversal.
Latinos often refer to other men as “papi,” in a friendly way. It’s no big deal.
