Does anyone genuinely call their siblings sis, sister, little/big sis, bro, brother, little/big brother etc. as constantly as this appears to be portrayed in media? I’m extremely sceptical. Now, affectionally addressing them by something like “slug”, “toad”, “fool”, and “bitch”, or even dare I say it, their gotdamn name, is, from my experience, so much more natural. 

ok guys, reblog and put in the tag how you name your siblings 

I’m Chinese. I am literally not allowed to call my brother anything other than the equivalent of ‘older brother’, or in Cantonese, Gor Gor. He can call me by my given name, but that’s because he’s older. My mum is in her 50s, and even she never calls her older brother, my uncle, by his actual name. It’s always ‘older brother’.
