Shruti and Coach, Thanks very much for your responses. “Mah Nigga”

Kurma, I couldn’t agree with you more. Thatâ€™s why I exfoliate:)

'People, I can see that the girls are calling each other "ho" at times. I am curious to know if it is OK for their guy friends to be calling them that. I know that if I called any of my female friends "ho", I'd get kicked where it hurts'

What Shruti said, plus, I think it's kinda like using the term 'Nigga' as one of endearment. My sisters and I call each other hooka all the time too. My kids called me 'mah Nigga' for a minute, until I objected. That and Shorty. I ain't yo shorty, unless you got me like dat.

I'm jes sayin.

People, I can see that the girls are calling each other “ho” at times. I am curious to know if it is OK for their guy friends to be calling them that. I know that if I called any of my female friends “ho”, I’d get kicked where it hurts. Am I officially an Uncle moving around with Aunties? Curiously yours,

Nope. Ditzy don’t mean dumb, and as ditzy as these girls are, calling each other “ho”, they usually wouldn’t take it from some dude. Guys will call them “hoes” and “bitches” plenty, only, behind their backs, else they’ll get dropkicked in the face (by the girls themselves, or the boyfriends/male posse).

Not much you can do about that process. The only thing we can do is follow gHandi’s advice – “Be the Uncle that you wish to see in the world”. As a Mallu, you have one other option – you can also be an UnGle.

um, no. not only do they exist, they're much, much worse than this. the real-life equivalents would never name-check as many non-Bollywood desi cultural figures, nor reference sociological ideas, nor mention Sepia Mutiny. Ever. visualize high school. that's right, they exist.

I guess the author tried to be as dumb as she can, but just couldn't help some intelligent commentary seeping out. And I've figured it out, Anna, these posts are like the Sanjay Malakar of Sepia mutiny: engaging, polarizing, confusion as to why they're still there, but yet, cannot look away. In any event, everyone has an opinion.

Coincidence how when I read this I was reading about Faraday’s Law of Reduction. I have a feeling if I discussed Sepia Mutiny with one of my friends she would also say it made her feel “worldley”
