In my part of Appalachia, all grandpas in the family are “pap” which was very funny when my grandma married a man from England. He refused to let us call him that. For reasons.
I should apologize, actually. As a young, young kid, my parents didn’t explain it to me for a long time. As a teenager, they explained it was in reference to a “pap smear” which is a gynecological thing. But it’s weird, you asking made me search it up. I’m not finding anything specific to England.
I think you just accidentally changed a story I’ve been telling myself for my entire life.

Sounds like a mass smear campaign to me.
Can you explain to a non-native speaker ?

Do you feel shaken in your foundations ?
Perhaps there’s still someone alive you can ask ?
