Is it so hard to just say 'opo'?I just do not understand why people say it or, worse, flaunt it. Can somebody help me? I am this close to calling them 'airheads'.

in my defense... i actually have none. i guess i'm just not used to saying opo. in the house, we don't say po or opo to our parents or older relations. we weren't raised to do so we never acquired the habit.
so when i talk to someone older than me, and i know i'm supposed to say "opo," i end up saying "yes po."
but yeah, thinking about it now, it can be annoying. ;)
If that's the case, then you are forgiven. Haha! The people I'm ticked off with are those who fake it. The ones who YOU KNOW have been saying 'opo' all their lives and have all of a sudden shifted to 'yes po' because they think it's cuter; because they think English is "classier" than their own tongue.
Actually, it gets worse.

Oh. I find it weird that you're not used to saying "opo". Are you from the south? Chinese perhaps? American raised?
