Why do many people like to call people cousins when they go out?

This is the same meaning as we usually like to call people Lao Tie.

Let's give a very simple example. There is a boy in our takeaway team. He has a good personality and is very popular with everyone. Moreover, one of his favorite names is Lao Tie. Whether he is a man or a woman, whether he knows it or not, in his mouth, old iron comes and goes.

In fact, this title really has his brilliance. The word "Lao Tie" is generally only used for people who are close to each other, but if you address an unfamiliar person, it will bring you closer. If you have something to ask him, things will be much easier.

And compared with girls, the popular name "Beauty" really makes us feel a little boring. Later, we thought that although we were calling you a beauty on the surface, we actually thought it was a fake ceremony. And there are so many girls on the street. If you call a beautiful girl, I turn around. If it's not me, it's embarrassing. I don't think there is anything wrong with calling a girl Lao Tie. If a boy calls a girl that way, he thinks he regards you as a brother. In fact, at this time, girls will also increase their goodwill towards their own hearts. Not to mention that boys call boys that way. Lao Tie is similar to "buddy" and "brother".

So in a word, going out, whether calling people cousin or Lao Tie, is a way to get closer to each other by addressing them. As the saying goes, going out by friends and calling you cousin is equivalent to treating you as my friend by default, so it is also very convenient to do things.

Language is really a special knowledge. How to address others and what to address them with are all things that need our serious study.
