what's that

 

[uncreativename]

Is that like some anti-millenial version of ok boomer?

Being called uncle in South Africa is a term of respect, like saying sir, it doesn't really reflect age and more reflects an older/experienced person. You can be 20 and be uncle or 80.

So younger staff calling you uncle or oom is usually a good thing

It's a term when you're expressing confusion/disapproval at things not aimed at your age range. You've reached "Unc Status" for being old basically lol

It's the same in China, kids calling you Uncle means your a nice older man.

Its roughly the same across SEA too. "Excuse me uncle/auntie" is a polite way to address somebody clearly older than you.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Isn't Unc more a derogatory term for someone older who thinks they can still kick it with the zoomers but it's just out of touch or incredibly cringe.

A great example of an Unc in this case is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Brazilians calls their friends as "dad", if you're over 18 you could be called "uncle" by children, and in schools there's no age to call other "uncle" or "aunt"

Personal facts: I was like 19 or 20 and got the duty of picking a friend's daughter from school. She was very energetic and said something like "uncle Derik, let's go home running!"

Yesterday another friends daughter wanted to see Moana and trade Fifa cards, and I went full fun uncle with her, with gelato, McDonald's and playing in the mall

 

[Artoris]

At least you did not get called Great Uncle Bulgaria

 

[Trilobit]

Just call them skibidi or skibidi-kid in return.
