Flattery

Here in Vietnam, you use different pronouns to refer to different people depending on their age. That means there are many words for "you".

When i talk to women, i like to call them a pronoun that implies an age bracket that is younger than the age they obviously are. They LOVE it. They smile and laugh, and sometimes they hit me in the arm.

Hoogo, you charmer- free noodles for the white boy!
