While these literally mean “uncle,” and “aunt,” they're also used informally to generally refer to another person. In the same way English speakers use “dude” or “guy” (“Look at those guys over there!” or “Who said that?” “I don't know, just some dude.”) Spaniards use tío or tía.
You may have noticed that many young Spaniards call people "tío" (uncle) or "tía" (aunt), even if they're not related to them.
