If for some bizarre reason it was necessary to make a distinction, we
have "uncle on my father's side" and "uncle on my mother's side."

If I said "paternal uncle" and "maternal uncle", would
these terms mean the same things to you or would they
mean something different (e.g. father's uncle and mother's uncle)?
