Now that i'm older (almost old enough to be referred to as "aunt" myself) I would refer to them as "miss/ms." or "mister" unless it is obvious they are older than me by at least a generation, then i could still refer to them as "aunt" or "uncle."

Same here, but I still want my younger nieces and nephews to be calling me Kizyr-Uncle. Kizyr-bhaiya is fine, too.

The familial relationships as a term of endearment is pretty common for a lot of Asian cultures; South Asian included.

Anywho, besides that, I do use gorram and shiny as part of my vocabulary; gorrammit more often. KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.

Go here to learn how to swear in Chinese.

I have been recording My Chinese Friends' voices, and writing my own software to help me study. I am now providing these programs on-line to help others.
I'm also a Big fan of Serenity. I even got to work on the film. I animated some of the ships for Rhythm & Hues Studios. Kick ass film.
anyway.... It's one of he reasons I decided to learn how to insult people in Chinese. I knew some insults from Studying in China, but my friends really
got into giving me a deeper understanding. :P
Go here to find them.
