Disclaimer: to the club 30 ladies, i'm not trying to li siao again. just wanna think and discuss about what's so bad with the term aunties.
i personally dun think there's anything wrong, it's a term of endearment but clearly the ladies of club 30 disagrees. sure we can call madam but we singlish rite??? not ang moh mah. so any thoughts? -

Ultimate dislike is to be addressed as Mdm.

hate this chinese way of respect, it's like eating dinner and u have to call everyone older than u to eat first, if u have a big family and u're the smallest, call until food cold loh and the good liaos all snatch away loh.
at least now more westernised, praying to jesus is better than calling everyone anyday.
i've managed to hijack my own thread

You did not get the point about respect.
Western is not as liberal as you think.
Besides, one form of respect is not being rude. -
I can understand your DIFFICULTY lah... Because I'm also YOUNG like you...Originally posted by The man who was death:the ladies used to it liao. but a young boy like me, u expect me to call 30+ ladies what?? i'd like to know

you know what i see?
seriously? jokes aside?
deathdude has the social skills of a maladjusted sociopath...
you gotta get out more and interact with people more... and learn basic courtesy..
it is not about hard and fast rules.. it is about interaction, and emotions... -
does ur mum slap u for calling her friends aunties?? do u feel like a hypocrite calling them jie??Originally posted by Devil1976:I can understand your DIFFICULTY lah... Because I'm also YOUNG like you... -
Btw... REMINDS me of a time when this SENIOR staff talked to me... "YOUNG MAN... When...."Originally posted by The man who was death:but aunties call me boi boi so why can't i call ladies aunties?? and u haven't given a good reason yet
Then I replied her... "OLD WOMAN... Do you know..."
She never call me 'young man' again since that day! "
