Grand Parent

The parent post of the parent post.

The very definition of a grandparent :)

every time you reply to a comment someone else makes on one of your comments, you are in fact your own grandparent

Which is why you can't travel to the the parent post and delete it from history. This keeps the universe working in correct order.

TIL a grandparent is actually an internet comment, not a person

Your mind is really gonna be blown when you learn about backups.
