       Found out today that one of my former students from India calls me "uncle" (though not to my face) and that's a very nice compliment

       @ricci Aww, that's so sweet!I didn't know using "uncle" that way is a thing in India, I'd only heard of it in China before.

       @silvermoon82 I'm told it's roughly the same as "auntie" which I was already slightly familiar with

       @ricci Hehe, there’s also an Eritrean chap at my neighborhood café who calls me uncle (to my face). Most of the others call me brother, which I personally prefer.
