sometimes i just love the english language. when it lets u argue with your elders like they were your equals. it reduces them to a simple equating 'you'. no fuss. no unnecessary respect. when they talk shit. actually always. but its specially helpful when you want to gesture at them and prove them ridiculous. its a little difficult to do in hindi what with the trimmings of 'aap' and respect. an angry 'you' sounds desrespectful in some way and yet you can't be blamed for crossing the line.
