OMG, another one?! Ok, I give up- please, can someone explain all the possible terms for "uncle" and "aunt"?

बुआ is just another way of saying फूफी, they are both a father's sister.
Hindi seems to be much more specific about how two people are related. This link does a pretty good job of explaining when you use each different word for "aunt", "uncle", "cousin", etc.
Father's sister :बुआ, father's younger brother:चाचा, father's older brother: ताऊ, father's mother:दादी, father's father:दादा, mother's brother:मामा, mother's sister:माैसी, mother's mother:नानी, mother's father:नाना.
and other times I put her instead of his and it is wrong. I am loving learning Hindi, but pronouns are killing me.
Given the track record with similar words and the failure to respond to reports or give a reasoned explanation, I'm going with capriciousness here.
