In Beijing dialect and other northern dialects, uncle has three meanings.
A finger uncle;
(1) uncle, refers to the father's brother, also known as uncle or uncle, or "uncle" for short. In ancient times, it was called father, and later it was called father. ("Bo" can also refer to uncle, that is, the husband's brother. )
The father's brother is called "uncle". The late uncle's name is Cao Bo.
My uncle's wife's name is Bom or Auntie or Auntie.
Social appellation of uncle;
1, a male elder who is said to be older than his father.
2. The appellation of middle-aged and elderly men.
3. Respect words for friends, classmates, colleagues and other fathers.
Out of the courtesy of the lover's (boyfriend and girlfriend's) father.
The second is the extension of the former meaning, referring to the respected old man.
The first two words "Ye" should be read softly.
Third, it refers to people with great status and style, which is extended to people with empty and arrogant style.
The extended meaning of this word is usually to praise one side and derogate the other. To put it bluntly, you will never catch up with your awesome uncle. Close to the meaning of "I am your father" in network language.
It is worth mentioning that many people always like to greet other people's families by swearing, and the form of "X your uncle" came into being and gradually evolved into the swearing word "Your uncle" commonly used in Beijing and even the northern generation. However, the words in the sentence "Your uncle will always be your uncle" are not derogatory, but have a high degree of praise. Please distinguish carefully when using.
The word "Ye" is usually pronounced twice here.
Although grandpa is equal to his father in seniority, his position is obviously higher than his father's.
Because of this, it is very useful to be called uncle in Beijing.
Fourth, the source of uncle;
Uncle Ding in Lao She's Red Flag Spectrum "As long as someone is willing to call him' Grandpa', he will be rewarded."
Explain that old Beijingers attach importance to "Grandpa".
As for "uncle" as the third meaning, at present, it is mostly used in a derogatory sense.
Now that we have bid farewell to the feudal society, everyone talks about equality and does not need a "grandfather" who is full of style.

In Deng Youmei's Smoke Pot, Ming Shou advised Uncle Wu: "That makes sense, but I have to put down my uncle's airs."
In Wang Shuo's Nobody Cheers, there is also a saying: "You play at home all day, like a grandfather."
In the newspaper, you can occasionally see such a title: "Talk about the manners of a grandfather in a service industry somewhere." ?
In fact, after the above analysis, we can also see some doorways. In the north, uncle is often the head of the family and a symbol of style and authority. Scolding a person's uncle is actually equivalent to scolding the other person's eight generations of ancestors, which is equivalent to sweeping away all the authority of the opponent and hitting all the arrogance of the opponent. Later, "your uncle" became a mantra, lost that strong swearing smell, and became a sentence between friends to vent their dissatisfaction. Today, this sentence is used not only by men but also by some girls. I have heard a beautiful girl with her hands akimbo shouting, "Fuck you!" " Very feminine. It's cool. Ha ha.
