However, some -- like this woman in India -- might not like the designation.

Doesn't like being called old

A woman was captured on video throwing a major tantrum and acting violent after she was called an 'aunty' at a market in the city of Etah in India.

According to a report by Times Of India, the whole kerfuffle started when an 19-year-old teenager reportedly said "Excuse me, aunty" as she was making her way to the crowded Babuganj market on 2 November.

The word 'aunty' triggered the 40-year-old woman (that, in our definition, is an aunty), as she reportedly became furious and started hurling abuse at the poor girl.

The woman then allegedly slapped the girl, causing a public brawl to break out in the crowded market.

The woman and another unidentified woman (we're not sure if she's an aunty or not) was captured on video hitting and grabbing the teenager's hair during the brawl.

Stunned bystanders were seen trying to intervene, but it wasn't until the police arrived that the brawl was broken up.

The website reported that both the woman and the teenager were hauled up by the police, and they managed to work out their differences without killing each other.

“The teenager had called the woman ‘aunt’, after which she burst into an outrage and beat up the girl. The girl also raised hands.

“Both parties were taken to the police station. Later, their relatives arrived and they settled the issue among themselves,” Officer Kanchan Katiyar was quoted by the news portal as saying.
