Im with CalifChick... Sir is my Knight. I call him Sir on a regular basis. Master is a Laurel. While I respect and care for both of them, there are alot of Sir so-n-sos and Master so-n-sos. Just about anyone anymore is a Lord or a Lady, you can get an AOA in 6 months, less if you go hunting on the weekends with the King. Honorable Lord takes a bit more time, but no one actually calls you that unless you get called up in court. In the Leather community I use Sir and Master and Daddy alot more frequently, but there, I actually feel like the majority of those people have actually earned that title. In my relationship, I use the title Daddy. Hi picked it, I think it works for him, and for our relationship, even though there isnt a bit of age play or Daddy/littlegirl dynamic between us. He feels the same way, he's a military man and is kind of against Sir for that reason and the SCA reason (Im not an officer nor have I been knighted, dont call me sir!). I also feel the same way, that I call every male I pass "sir"..raised in the south, just happens that way. Its no longer really special. Daddy just thinks Master is silly honestly...so he has a personal issue with me using it..but Daddy just works for us. quote:
ORIGINAL: CalifChick FR Too many years in the SCA here, although I stepped away from it several years ago. There, a "Sir" and a "Master" are supposed to be equal terms, but the reality is that many see a "Sir" as higher than a "Master" (even though the Masters would protest vehemently that this is not so). Also, while I would call someone "Sir" all by itself, "Master" would always be followed by their name. So calling someone "Master" alone just reminds me of that cartoon where the sniveling guy keeps saying "yes master yes master" (and geez, I'm drawing a blank now on which one that is). In the same way, "Lord" always takes a name after it, the way "Mister" does. So, that leaves me being a "Sir" kinda girl. Cali
