Excellent you using Oom , it's a new word I've learned today. oom /ˈuːəm/ noun 1. (South African) a title of respect used to address an elderly man I thought the Brits might still remember 'Oom Paul' In the Dutch language 'oom' or 'ome' is the normal form of 'uncle', and surely I don't mind Soutpeel calling me uncle as well. I fear though at times it might be preceded by "that blasted Dutch"

(South African) a title of respect used to address an elderly man The translator you looked at is not 100% correct, there is is no language called South African, Oom comes from Afrikaans, AKA kitchen Dutch, which us a "simplier" version of high Dutch, in some respects its more similar to Flemish than actual Dutch, (i found anyway when i worked in Belgium) Its connotation means "Uncle" not old man per se I am sure our favourite Dutch Uncle would able to explain a bit more why this is as he speaks high Dutch and i am no scholar on languages Other words you can learn today Tannie - female version of Oom, ie Auntie Ouma and Oupa grand mother and grand father

OK Uncle, I'll cover that disgusting K-Pop video you posted, of those prissy young idiots jumping around like they have fire ants in their undies, and raise you one meme of a Dutch bad boy - i68.tinypic.com/1428rpc.jpg
