This form of honorifics is used when the speaker wants to speak in a slightly impolite way to the hearer either because the hearer is of a similar age or younger than the speaker or because they are on friendly terms with each other. Thus, it is used by professors toward their students, by bosses toward their employees (and by superiors toward those under them), and by mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law toward their sons-in-law, etc. In addition, it is also used among older individuals when they do not want to speak too impolitely.
