Diay and Dong
I am curious to know about the terms Diay and Dong. Are Diay and Dong terms commonly used by any man or woman when referring to each other, or are they only used between two people who have a romantic relationship? In other words, can any woman call any man "Dong", or vise versa, any man call any woman "Diay".

Title of respect
In our daily dealings with other people, we are expected to accord respect to the elders.
We address our male elders as manong or nong for short. Kuya is the Tagalog equivalent of manong.
We only call someone as dong when the guy is younger than us.
Sometimes it is used to insinuate by the speaker, that she is more superior than the guy.
