ORIGINAL: SmokingGun82 SCD, The difference between "a sub/slave" and "your sub/slave" would be, as others have suggested, important in this issue. In situations where there's no explicit relationship, basic manners are all anyone has reason to expect. Personally, I've been accused of being "rude" for giggling when someone introduced themselves to me as "Master Such and Such" or "Mistress Whatever." And for not using those terms with them. No matter who you are, or what your station is, respect, beyond simple politeness, has to be earned. You might want to work on controlling the giggles (I'm betting where you can see that might rub people the wrong way) but me and mine would never say you were rude frankly because it would never cross my mind to introduce myself as anything other than TammyJo. I even stopped saying "This is my slave, Fox" because some folks assumed it then gave them a right to call him slave fox or worse simply slave or boy. Now I say "This is Fox, my slave." Fox is always a gentleman in return but he is under my orders to not use anything other than basic polite terms for anyone other than me. In general it hasn't been a big problem for him because general politeness goes a long way.
