It's even worse/cuter/weirder sounding in french: papamobile. Papa means daddy, it should have been papemobile but I think we collectively agreed to have a little fun instead.

Dang! Have I been lied to my entire life ?

EDIT: nah, even the wikipedia article uses that spelling: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papamobile

@HugeNerd @nlgranger With a quick search you can see a lot of media outlets using "papamobile" https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22papamobile%22&iar=news
