Isn’t his uncle’s mother his grandma?...

I saw a deaf guy "yelling" at his kid once at the mall.

Speaking of, can someone tell me what the argument in Faithless' "God is a DJ" music video is about?

Haha as a former educational interpreter, I've had this same conversation with a kindergarten student. He just stopped and stared at me.

I know a girl with thick fingers and if she learned to sign, we joke she'd sign in bold.

A deaf aunt and her brother were very drunk after a wedding. He could read lips very well. She argued, saying and signing "listen to me!"
He stops her with, "I can't. I'm deaf!" Everyone just laughs their asses off. Good night.

No.. retweet... Just upvote. It's like an upwards facing arrow

my grandmother would tell me a story about a good friend of hers who had a deaf daughter. When she didn't want to listen she closed her eyes
peachesforme
i can confirm my deaf friend did the same when we were kids
SatoriEnlightenment
My friend doesn’t get it, please explain it to him like he is five years old? (HE ALSO THINKS VIGOROUS SIGNING CAN BE CONSIDERED “yelling”)

When arguing especially over things that don't matter, it may not take much absurdity to knock you into the giggles.
BreastInspector
Yeah. I don't get it. If you're arguing and one of you says "don't you yell at me!" That is just a normal thing to say in that situation
TheJollyBengali
... not for people who don't verbally communicate
Fair enough. I will say, however, I figured the metaphor of "yelling" would translate even if it wasn't literally something they would do.
TehButternaut
This is completely not the point. But how is their great aunt their uncle's mother?
GrabherbythePuss
Well if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.

Great aunt is mom's mom's sister. "Uncle," her son, should actually be referred to as second cousin but most use "uncle" in big families
RecurringNightmare
wrong, grandparents sister is grand aunt, her son is uncle 2nd degree, his kids are cousins 2nd degree
Maahes0
If the uncle is only a half sibling to the person's parent (same dad, diff moms) then his mother would be a great aunt, kinda.

Most likely would still be called gma.

Parents is to grandparents as aunt is to great aunt
iamcinnamon
I can see it. My grandpa left my grandma for her sister. They had a baby...He was also adopted my my great grandmother. Cue banjo...
Back when a single male was expected to marry his brother's widow it was common for siblings to also be cousins. Eg If A & B are brothers...
& 1 & 2 are sisters. Say A marries 1 & B marries 2. Both sets have kids. Then A & 2 die. B marries 1 & have kids. The A1 kids and B2 kids...
are cousins/stepsiblings. The B1 kids are cousins/half siblings. Families get weird.
IWasToldThereWouldBePie
That's...how it works? My uncle's mother is my great aunt. Doesn't have to be my grandmother if it's by marriage.
your uncle-2nd-degree's mother is your grandparents sister and your grand aunt, yes, dunno why so many people get it wrong...
danigirl8807
That's what we call my dad's cousins, Tio and Tia. We dont call them our second cousins. Some people do, some don't.

Your parents brother is an uncle to you. Their parents are the same aka your grandparents
Homosexualsaregay
Married in Uncle. Not the same parents
AxelYamanaka
Well what would you call your parent's brother-in-law's mother? Certainly not grandmother!
SpecialAgentSkully
I called her Nana or grandma, personally. I don't with my parents other sister-in-law/brother-in-laws parents. Just her. I miss her dearly.
Chainhealer
I'd call her nothing.
CheerfullyGrim
Wow, some bad blood there. At least call her Great Aunt Nothing.
threecheersforsweetrevenge
But the brother-in-law would still be related to one of the parents by blood?
Meaning it would be the sibling to one of the parents, making that person's mother your grandmother
Not if they're married in. No blood relation, just an in-law
Could you explain a real life situation in which this would happen? Sorry, I'm struggling to figure out how that would work.
ShmooThaSchmuck
Yah, that's how it works... Your uncle /aunts parents are your great uncle/aunts
Wait, my uncle's uncle? So, not my grandpa, but grandpas brother? Great uncle? Point is I'm a great cousin don't care whatchu sayyy
Wait... Shit You're right... Am I thinking of cousins? Like, Im my cousin's boy's great cousin? Shit...
Nope. Let's look at dad. Say he has a brother. That's your uncle. Uncle's mom/dad are your dad's mom/dad therefore your grandma/pa. I...
think people are confusing step w/ great. It could be uncle's mom and dad's stepmom. So your step Grandma. Or maybe it's dad's sister's...
husband, his bro in law, your uncle. In which case there is no relation to his mother but sometimes in close families nonrelations get...
called aunt/uncle or in this case great aunt.
