Family friends one generation above, like parent's friends, are called "Tito" (for males) and "Tita" (for females), although they should not be confused with Tiyo and Tiya which are for blood relatives. However, "Tito" and "Tita" are also sometimes used to reference blood relatives as well.
Tito/Tita for uncles/aunts, usually more than 1 or 2 decades older than you or someone clearly of one or two or more generations above you.
titi: modeled on terms for aunt and uncle in Spanish (tÃa and tÃo) zizi: modeled on terms for aunt and uncle in Italian (zia and zio)
Before, the definition of a 'tita' simply referred to one's aunt – either on one's mother's or father's side of the family. In the Philippine context, the definition was also extended to include female friends, co-workers, or colleagues of one's parents.
Moke is a term used in the British Isles as slang for "donkey". In Australia it refers to a nag or inferior horse, and is employed by residents of the Hawaiian Islands in similar fashion as the British to derogatorily describe segments of the local Polynesian population.
