Apparently, there is a trend towards calling anyone you don't know as uncle or auntie, and it is considered an insult.

Men and women in their 20s calling men and women in their 30s and 40s uncle and auntie.

This is correlating with the boomer insult word towards anyone older than you and it's being used by salesmen and women in malls.

If you're in your late 20s or early 30s and then an early 20s adult calls you auntie or uncle, would you consider it offensive?

Nowadays these terms are used as a pejorative towards those you dislike and are older than you even though not much older.

YES.

I don't mind being called uncle. But I feel it's weird when I go to pasar malam and aunties call me adik.

then want call what ? Abang , Kakak ? ....
If call handsome , pretty ...later people complaint sexual harassment

uncle roger proud

Then you reply back with ah girl and ah boy la.

i am in my thirties and i will belasah whoever call me uncle

i use it on anyone if they are younger than me but some function of excel and word still dunno how to use

i really mind when the younger one call me "adik"

those comel above 18 girls can call me "daddy" also dun mind

oenni opppa

Sikit2 triggered...

Respect is to be earned, not given...

I dont see the problem since im an uncle myself

Got meh?

I call nenek/atuk if they feel uncle and aunty is insult for them.

In Malaysia, general calling for not so close acquantance and strangers is "boss"
Nobody is offended by this calling.

Nak panggil machai dan sochai?

some young kids called me Oppa ..

The problem is not younger ones calling you uncle/aunty...the problem is older ones calling younger you uncle/aunty as if that’s the generic word to greet someone nowadays.

I'm an uncle tho, since I was 5

I laugh in front of my friends when I get called uncle, then I go cry in the toilet.

Lengzai Lenglui

many ppl want to be call datuk

They call me boss, lengzai, shuai ge, lau ban, kor kor

I young time kena call uncle by people near my age.

I sad face problem 😭

sarahan KPOP drama..once u reach 25..u r opah..aka uncle.

Onegai senpai..~~~ terus stimm.

call leng chai/leng lui setel

Best part of the game.

I havent been thru that stage yet even tho i'm 34, i have kiddy face

Sir / Madam

It's called being polite and we've been doing it for years.
Sounds like some over-sensitive sod who is making a big fuss over a perceived insult.

Then you return favour by calling them Ah Boy/ Ah Girl.

TS consider that an insult?

What if you're really older and some younger person calls you boy or girl with disrespect? Also talks to you as though you're of same age group as them when you're clearly 10-20 years older than them?

Anyway the world needs a mass culling soon. We're overpopulated already with scums and troubled societies.

if not you prefer being called "Lan..." and "CheeeeB...."?.
zzzzz

this is the best one

hi boss

u boss right. treat me lunch

my policy is never called people uncle,.. call them Abang,.. or Ko ko,.. or Taikor,.. or Boss,..

Why so aggressive lar, Uncle?

If you’re going to take issue with every single sight you’re going to need to have a bigger butthole the size of Uranus.

Because face problem la..Your face look like oldfag how to know your real age?

People will always call me "Adik" instead of "Abang" because my face and body is younger than my real age.

got people call you auntie or not docile

Some people dont mind

Some people triggered (muka tua but still young at heart)

Yes.
Call ayam abang or boss lah

Wait until they call you ah pek.

Refer to sibu case ka? Lulx!

deswai, to be safe, just say hello

uncle jbcoder datang lagi

Yes, very rude and some group of ppl always do that.

Man shud always mister

Woman shud always miss

No matter what age

Hello boomer

Can I call you Bosku?

when u r doing a sales , then ur customer call "Sir, harga itu berapa ya ?" ...i will feel like, u want to buy for me ?

people call me also i happy, young generation nowadays damn rude u know

This long already....
Our family already normal to call each other uncle/auntie...

They should kowtow to me and call me ancestor instead.

How you dare to assume my gender and age based on my outlook.

i called someone kak

she immediately ask me my age and said I should call her dik

but after that I start calling her by her name

same here. uncle is ok.
last time girl took order on our table. she call abang for my friend and adik on me.. really mcb kena laugh kaw2 with my friend .

The first time i was called uncle was by a young malay chap who was working in Baskin Robins. I was 29. I was cool with it, he was being polite.

The first time i was called uncle by an older person, this case an aunty, was when I was 38 and buying stuff in the wet market.

The first time I was called uncle by an even older person was last month, when my neighbour who's a grandma wished me good morning uncle.

Ah...time flies by so fast. I rather reminisce on times gone by TS then fret about being called and unker.

Diam la pandan

Just call everyone boss, senang settle and make them feel good about it also

Auntie, Uncle or Whatsoever, i just need a Auntie Wang

Uncle jbcoder!!!! how are you?

if cantik: hey nona maniz.....
if non cantik: hey....

if tua: tak panggil

Lol

Unker's memory still very good

Awek in 20s can call her makcik and in their 30s call then nenek

"it's 'ma'am'..stop calling me sir..!!"

one minute later kicks down a display shelf like a dude.

I use Sir even when I'm the customer. Just being polite.

i usually see same age +- i call bang , if older uncle/pakcik

Dont mind. As long polite.

Apek = uncle (in hokkien)
Akong = Datuk .

No problemo

I am not gonna lie, I would be sad if girls calling me uncle too
