Formally, in the English language, they are called "great-uncle".

Personally, I think that is pure rubbish inconsistency, so I reject it and call them "grand-uncle".

Let these English mudafuckers be consistent by sticking with "great" for the generation of one's great-grandparents and with "grand" for the generation of one's grandparents.

Worse still for this inconsistency is that the term "grand-uncle" is not already in use for some other label.

This follows my principles in life that because it is in popular used, or some respected people do it, does not mean I have to toe the line.

I will create my own rules as I don't accept any ideas or ideals without questioning and scrutinising it. I am comfortable being an iconoclast.

Big Daddy is a very popular generic term used in Nigeria for any close male relative more than 7 years older one's dad.

That is in bed, homie. grin

Got girls like khiaa screaming "Hit it, Big Daddy". grin

But, men, good taste in music choice.

That is from when rap used to be rap, not the utter nonsense they have today. I got that shyt on repeat. cool

I really feel sorry for the teenagers today and the crap they have to listen to. undecided

Some of these so-called rappers need to be shot!
