i think ratobhaley is referring to the hajur baksyos that are exchanged between different sects(divided by the feudalistic few) of our society. and i agree with that. however, within a family circle, if they use such pronouns or any other forms for that matter, i don't think there's any harm or problem. it's strictly their choice. and as i said, our culture teaches us to be respectful to elders. nothing wrong with that either long as you can/allowed to differ in opinions/ideas/views with them if you want/need to.

now in light to the topic of this thread, i will be shocked if Prachanda calls G--sarkar, hajur, garibaksyos and so on in the forthcoming meeting. that will be a pathetic display of utter hypocrisy in his part and that's where i agree with reddy cock :D
