In Which Galaxian Complains About Everything That Really Isn't Supposed to Be Complainable

I don't know if it's that way with other languages, but I do know at least Chinese and Japanese distinguish between older and younger siblings, as well as which uncles are on which side, etc.

Like "Nii-san" being older brother in Japanese, 哥哥 being that in Chinese--

Then in English where one of my friends has 13 siblings and he's always like, "Oh, that's my brother."

Me: Older or younger?

(*repeat scene 7 times*)

Him: That's my brother.

Me: OLDER OR YOUNGER

Then there's that twin younger brother.

Him: That's my twin brother.

Me: OLDER OR YOUNGER
