baba, sardar, pajee, giani

[Guest balwinderkaur]

aaaaaawwwwww yea i think veerjee is one of the most diplomatic terms to use...wont offend the person, and you're still respecting him. if the person is older i just call him unclejee.

[Vaneet Singh]

Well i also agree with u all.......some ppl dont have even basic courtesy and i agree with balwinder veer ji..again maily those are punjabi'z......

Rochak veer'z ideas are fantastic and i will add something in those....in my case..

if somebody intentionally call me this to make fun of me.....main kad lehna danda!!!..

and if someone says in a very ignorant way...i say..oye akal nahi tenu..

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru jiki fatehh

hehehehehhe

well some people say thsoe words to tease u...few of people in my family do that...but they jus dont knw what sikhi is. one of my cousin who doesn like the fact that i took amrit...told me that i wasn't part of family no more and that now i was baba jis...(one of my family person got mad at him) but i was like ..it jus hit me right then..that in reality i was baba jis now..(waheguru..>waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fatehh)

then he tried to tease me diffrent way..but i sorta smiled..whic got him more :wub: hehehe u jus gota say something sweet...and sofly..to them. watch them burn!!!..lol

i dont talk to him much now!..

i dont like it when people call someone Giani ji..unless that person is really a giyani.

i like the idea where u go up to the person and tell them what the word really means!

oh yea now i remeberer what he called me..whic i was bit about.

he called me "nihungnii" and i was like " no its 'singhnii' but im not at that level yet..tryin to be one"... he didn't get it..nd kept on callin me tht(even though this person is like over 30..but what can u do or say to a person who dont

know much about Sikhi :D )

(is there such a thing as nihungnii?) i did ask him this, and he was like yea u! ...but im not sure if there is such a word

bhul chuk muaff

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru jiki fateh

[DhadiMania]

i no its insultin 2 b called gyani @ times jus cuz u hav a paag n stuff hey

[GuruJiDiPyari]

hahahaha...u know my dad has been called giani practically his whole life by relatives friends,etc....but he doesn't take it seriously...coz that's how he's known...lol

My dad just laughs sometimes when some1 calls him that....but one time my friend's brother called him giani uncle..and his parents got hecka maddddd....and said it was disrespectful.....

so yea there are people out there who just say it as a joke and don't even care........but it depends on how the person reacts to it..if the person takes it as a joke.....or doesn't like it......

Waheguru jee ka khalsa Waheguru jee ki fateh!

Nihungini, wow that sounds awesome!! First time I ever heard it tho. Depends how you take it. Some people are very clever, and they say things that'll upset you, but are not a direct offence at you.

I guess the best thing you can do is smile and say something good, because its just a test, of your krodh, and to see if you really get mad at what the other person says..

There's a higher understanding to this as Guru Maharaj said:

O Nanak, from false talk, only falsehood is obtained. ||2||

Talking, seeing, speaking, walking, living and dying-all these are transitory.

(see what i mean )

This dude in my class(hindu), always calls me Khalsa, rather than my name, and other things, that aren't a direct offence, but it points it out to the person who receives the comment, you gotta be careful with those type of people, and know how to deal with it.

I'm a paindu, so whenever he calls me something like a "turbanator". I just call him bahman, and make fun of his janeoo, which I shouldn't do, but i can't help it :nihungsmile: then he just shuts up. So if someone is being clever with you, don't hide behind the

bush, just say what comes to mind. :e:

Bhul chuk muaf!
