Why offended by calling some one as an uncle?

[Chaos]

Im 36 n he is in 40s+. I call them uncle to see how they react. Normally i use “excuse me”. Next time when someone is younger i should call chotu can you plz move aside.

I get super-annoyed with "Bro." Especially when it is a long and drawn out BRRRRO.

 

We have such cool ways to address people in our own languages. Yaar. Guru. Bhai. Bhaiyya. Even Boss sounds ok. But the BRRRRO....? 

 

 

What about the british bruv

 

Will you get annoyed with that?

In the dictionary, "British" and "annoying" are listed as synonyms. So, yeah. Or like you might say "but_of_cOse"

True story. 

 

First day in Gujarat in 2007 after relocating there for work. Went to a local chai wallah to have a smoke and tea. Slipped my tongue and said "Anna ek chai aur ek bada goldflake". 

 

The guy said "Anna mat bolo" in a really threatening way. Really scrawny guy though as well. But still Mera mistake to hai hi.

And Gujarat , your chai does suck. Do you lot even add tea in your chai ?

And one more true story. 

 

This was the time when I was very into running etc. 

 

A teenager called me Anna and referred to my wife as aunty. Vesuvius eruption would be an understatement.

Tea can be ordered strong, sweet, strong-sweet, less sugar, no sugar, etc.  

 

I usually have tea at the Wagh Bakri lounge where sugar is not added to the tea. You need to add sugar using the sugar sachet. At home, I drink the Darjeeling tea (in tea bag) where you do not need to add sugar, just dip dip in hot water.

Was still too much milk, too less tea and masala. 

 

You guys don't have the masala chai aspect.

My parents drink pure milk tea (no water added) but it would have strong tea flavor as well.

Just saying your tea definition has a lot of holes to be picked in. 

[bsriharsha]

And yes. Gujarat , your chai does suck.

Forget filter coffee, they can't even get Bru/Nescafe right. 

 

Disclaimer: I've never been in Gujarat. My comment is based on my experience in Pune, but then again Marathi/Gujarati all same like Kannad/TElgoo/Taameel all Madraasi.

I tend to call my peers by their names.

 

But nowadays girls in their 20s call other women also bro and duuude. Its even more annoying.
