The brother, to me, a couple of months ago:
My aunt can be somewhat... decisive. She makes all these plans, and then just gets everyone to follow through. It's quite awe-inspiring, the way my relatives who're otherwise quite decisive themselves just give in when she gets going. The clan got together a while ago for a Sunday brunch, and she was railroading people into doing things her way as usual, while her husband watched with a resigned expression on his face.

A friend, who we shall call J. A., started working in a school as a school counsellor.

So what does she do to break the ice? Introduce herself in the following manner:
On the other hand:

Me: Umm, hello? I've been calling you buddha-buddhi for ages now.
Her: Yes, but now we have realised it.
