People, what's up with guys not liking this word? Like, if you respond to a guy "yes, my brother"... and he doesn't want to be called "brother"? Ati "don't call me 'brother'.... am not your brother'....... I mean, seriously,... someone is just trying to be polite here....

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Its good meaning has been tainted by Nigerian conmen (also other conmen),...who often use such terms to get targets to lower their guard then clean them out ..

Maybe ne wants ninio thus calling him a brother is a deterrent ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Ati "don't call me 'brother'.... am not your brother'....... I mean, seriously,... someone is just trying to be polite here.... How would you like it if I call you 'Mother'? I mean, why misuse a term which carries a lot of wait. I was called a certain lady 'Mama' and she went bananas. "Mimi ni mama yako, huna hadabu", she reeved for all to hear. So, I have a policy, never use a term on someone you are not familiar with. Actually, when you teach your kids to call the house girl 'Auntie', you are devaluing the status of the real Aunt to the kids. So, when the real Aunt comes around, she is looked down as another irrelevant lady in the house.  "One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Rev Canon Karanja.

Maybe you need to stop treating the domestic manager as an irrelevant lady.

Maybe you need to stop treating the domestic manager as an irrelevant lady. What about 'boss'. I once called a colleague who is at my level 'boss' and he was like...kwani av become ur boss?? When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty
of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.
