I like it! We say hoca to everyone, it gives me sort of a ´communist feeling of equality´.

Yep, this is the most appropriate way, especially when they hear it from a tourist girl, they will be shocked for sure, kitlenip kalırlar

something funny is when i first came to Turkey and learning Turkish by people around me, I would hear some guys say ´Kaptan inecek var vs..´ so when i said it one time, the bus driver was so shocked to hear it from me a foreign girl that he had to turn and laugh! now i know, its not so common to hear that from girls i guess. but now at metu its really cool to say Hoca and to be called Hoca everywhere, at first I thought ´i must look old or something´ but now I know its a tradition there.

Same for me! I made the unforgiveable mistake that when I didnt speak Turkish yet, I noticed the driver didnt hear an old lady say she wanted to get off, so in my effort of being helpful I repeated what I thought was ´Inek var´

"Hocam" was originally a cordial form of address, used exclusively between ODTU members holding a Masters´Degree or above.

I bet it was a German tourist. They seem to have a habit of pronouncing ´var´ as ´vaaa´.
