Calling Parents by Elderly Titles

Question
What is the ruling on calling parents by the terms 'Hajj' (for men), 'Hajja' (for women), and 'old person'?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: They should be called by the names they love the most, which are fatherhood and motherhood. It is disliked as a matter of etiquette; that is, it is contrary to what is preferable if they are not harmed by it, and it is disliked as a prohibition if they are harmed by it. And God knows best.
