I was called "Oom" for the first time on a group club ride on Saturday.

 

En dit nogal deur 'n girl wat seker al 'n hele paar jaar uit die skool is!

[pastapouch]

But he did look around 15 or 16 (one helluva a strong dude)

When you become invisible to young women you know you're past it. When even older women ignore you it's really sad .

Last year the the crater cruise upon finishing I was bummed lying on the ground coughing and coughing - a youngster came up to me and said "Will oom a bietjie water he?"

 

Priorities took over and I managed a "F0k off Ek is nie jou oom nie maar dankie ja ek is a bietjie dors"

Been 52 I am used to it,........but, I find its more of a term of respect, especially to young afrikaans speaking folks, which I like.

 

Nothing wrong with been polite and respectfull.

[The Saint]

Agreed and it ain't often that you get respect from kids these days

[flymango]

Pitty you weren't called "meneer". Whilst both respectful, the difference between "oom" and "meneer" is earned. E.g. "hy's nou n meneer", of "dis nou n meneer" ...

A meneer is a thing that dangle's of a doggies backside when he doesn't wipe properly.

A meneer is that thing I leave behind in the toilet after I have sat down
