If the joke is on you, learn to laugh it off. Because we take it to heart is why one is often continued to make fun of. For example a Kid in school mad at his/her friends calling him something, they will comtinue to tease him/her as they know that it annoys the kid. I suppose so. It'll help my BP for sure. What ticked me off more was that they were making fun of the fans admiration for them. Lack of respect, imo. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Sir is common among Indians. If anything North Indians use sir more often. Then some use bro. I am used to getting addressed by name. So it is odd. Link to comment

Sir isn't common among north Indians, "sirji" is used but that's a whole different context, you won't find many north Indians addressing foreigners with Sir or sirji, we stay away from such cringeworthy stuff Link to comment
Lannister Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Calling 'sir' is usually showing a sign of respect for one's position or age. There is nothing wrong with that. My friend has just been promoted to Bank manager and he's only 27, and there's a lot of 45+ year old working under him. He usually refers them as 'sir' to show respect for their age. Since we don't use the term 'Mister', 'sir' is the close term to it. This could be hard to understand for some who are coming from a different culture, if there is even one in the first place.

Straight Drive Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sir is getting out of Indian professional culture gradually. A lot of Executive level resources call me "Sir". However, none one of the many managers who report to me call me "Sir", rather they call by my name. Sir is also used as respectful term, not necessarily the one who calls it is actually reporting to you. I say that because many shopkeepers refer me as "Sir" when i am at their shop. Link to comment

Gollum Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 In Bengal 'Sir' is less prevalent. Most common in UP, MP, Bihar and South...in fact must be a Pan India phenomenon. Link to comment

vayuu1 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The Indians calling every celeb a sir is one of the most cringeworthy thing I've ever seen, it's more of a south Indian thing though, they even call their actors as sir, fking CRINGE, they deserve to be made fun of.Thik hai Fir aage se kisi bhi gore ko sir ke badle oye bhosdike ke bol diya karenge.

Not everyone can pull off the thick accent. Russell peters does very well. When it doesn't come off it looks bad. Link to comment
