Do some British people still refer to their parents as "Mater" and "Pater"?
And obviously, people would not use it "humorously" if people hadn't used it before! Like now in Russia, it's humorous or an insult to call somebody "comrade."

Only by way of a joke. A few very upper-class people may have done so 50 or more years ago, but certainly not since then.

Of course not, except as a joke. It wasn't common years ago either, even among the upper class.

There may still be a handful of such people. But it's certainly not at all common any more - not for the last 100 years.

Actually I have heard this in period movies and read it in British movies. In aristocratic families only. It seems to have been done still in the 1950s, but even that is a long time ago. So I was just wondering.

I live in the UL and am British. No, I know of no one who addresses their parents in Latin nor have I heard of any doing it. I have no idea how you got the idea we do this. Haec inepta quaestio est.

I never did. That would have been known as 'being affected' down our way.

Maybe in some unworldly upper-class families in the boondocks, or used humorously.

Nobody has ever said that seriously! I say pater quite often. It's always tongue in cheek. Yes, I did go to a boarding grammar school (that's like a prep school in USian).
