*used to do.
Why??!! Did you do it deliberately?? I mean wouldnt you just call her "Miss" or something. Anything other than Mam lol. The poor teacher, Being called Mam all day haha
They don't mind being called ma'am. I hate that word though, along with madam and miss.
Mam is what we call our mothers lol
I stick to "excuse me" or "Ms./Mr./Sir" followed by their name.I don't call them by any name. Feels weird.
In Medical colleges you've to call them Doctor which is fine.
When the "Reproduction in Animals" lesson comes up.![]()

From mom to mum to mam... What next?Mam is what we call our mothers lol
Its very academic though.![]()
I love M&Ms!![]()
I haven't come across a girl who doesn't love M&Ms. Is this awkward?
I see there's been a misunderstanding.
Mam and Ma'am are too different words.
Ma'am is short for madame and is polite
Mam is your mother
Calling your teacher Mam is the equivalent of calling her "ماں" (i hope thats correct)
I called my teacher "Mam" once when i was 8![]()
Exactly.They finish too quickly - just when you are feeling the taste and loving it.
I buy a couple of them, or more, together.![]()

I don't love chocolate, except for a few candies. M&M's happen to be one of them.
Jab larka-larki raazi, tou kya kareyga qaaziI said "love u" to one few weeks ago. I am glad I am a regular and she is kind of a friend so it went all in laughs and she replied back in same otherwise would have been dead awkward, I had this habit from old times to say it after take care so it just came out automatically.
Jab larka-larki raazi, tou kya kareyga qaazi? Did you say in German or in English?
Fine, don't. It's not affecting me.Really hard to believe.
Suddenly come to remember a somewhat awkward moment for [MENTION=47617]~Red Devil~[/MENTION] bhai from a conversation with me:
Now, the Urdu word "pee" (derived from the word "peena", which means "To drink") has a different meaning in English as the educated folks out there would know. So "pi" wasn´t an option either due it its pronunciation in 'Life of Pi' (2012). So he goes on to spell it with three Es ("peee") and I immediately drew his attention to his sharp-mindedness.
The awkward moment when you ask someone to repeat themselves twice yet you still don't understand what they said![]()
When a kid says something insulting and you have no idea how to respond.![]()
You're too old. I'm talking about 5 year olds and stuff.I must have done that to you.![]()
What did he say?![]()
What did he say? Must have been something great to leave you speechless![]()
You're too old. I'm talking about 5 year olds and stuff.
Nothing now, but it's happened. The sort of thing that ticks you off but when you start to say something you think, "he's a kid, what the hell am I supposed to say?"
Sorry for asking, it was personal.![]()
When you shout an answer with full confidence in class and it's wrong.![]()

I hate it when it's the other way round.
You say it quietly and it's right.![]()

Spelling it as "pea" would have been a good idea I reckon.
So there´s this Bollywood film called 'Policegiri', and yesterday my elder sister ended up misreading it as "PoliceGirl". More of an embarrassing moment for her than anything else. She requested me not to tell her husband as he would make fun of her. Well fine, he doesn´t have a PP account though.
HahahahahaThis reminds me of a time I picked up the DVD of Blades of Glory from a DVD shop in Pindi.
Opened up the CD. The shop-owner had written on the obviously duplicated CD - "Bloods of Group".
The same shop owner also recommended I purchase Contagion because he said it was a hit. Except he called it Container.
Reading fail.
Hahahahaha)! Both are crackers!
Mind you, I have heard quite a few Pakistanis pronounce 'Titanic' like "tai-tanic", which in Punjabi would mean, "Two and a half tanic."
The awkward moment when the girl who lived for six years next door who never spoke/smiled/acknowledged my presence bumps into a friend of mine and raves about the close friendship she shared with me.
The awkward moment when you are walking home and you see your Indian neighbour defecating on the road because he wants to recreate his youth.
That awkward moment when you tell a woman her son looks good only to be told he is her elder brother. What makes it even more awkward is she is your girlfriend. Becomes triple awkward when you go in expecting to be slapped only to get appreciated as sarcasm.
Lol.
I've told someone their son is cute and been told it's a girl. This has happened twice.

Awkward moment when your crush says that she is already taken
