boy and girl walk down the street.
boy turns to girl and says lets rob a liquor store.
girl says sure. They do, and enjoying it, do it again and again.
after some years of robbing liqour stores in a living pervasive manor, girl stops to ponder (as women are often wont to do)
'Am I a fuckin' thief?' she says to herself, 'did he make me do this?'
he says, 'but honey, you were all for this as I remember, it's our life'
she ponders, mulls it over, looks at it from different angles and says,
'I'm a thief, and I love every fuckin' minute of it.'
He says, 'Coolio'. They then continue robbing liqour stores happily ever after, the rest of their days.


Moral of this story?

Don't own a liqour store, own a thief.

So what is this thing, exactly?

"The woman I love with all my heart, who would do anything for me, and has made it her goal in life to support me in all my endeavors."

Love, trust, responsibility.  Everything else is commentary.

LP, I think it was more that he didn't want it to get side-tracked way off the topic & consumed uselessly in sniping bickering stuff ... . Discussing alternate names for this role we sometimes call 'slave' seems to be the topic at hand . . . . .

Personally, I want minions. Devoted, slavish minions . . . . . (I'd be ever so much better to them than the evil geniuses in the movies; I promise never to let my minions get blown up in my secret hideaway -- we'll have an evacuation plan!)

lol

Anyways, I dug out the thesaurus & started looking at relatively equivalent terms:

serf, vassal, thrall; bondsman, bondswoman; drudge, servant, lackey, minion; gofer; devotee, worshiper, adherent; fan, lover, aficionado; fanatic, freak, nut, addict . . . .

I liked 'devotee', so I followed that & added these (duplicates removed):

enthusiast, admirer; buff, bum, fiend, maniac; follower, supporter, advocate, disciple, votary, member, stalwart, zealot; believer.

I guess my point is that there are something on the order of 300,000 to 500,000 words in the English language. Getting hung up on any one of them oughta be justified with that word being really, terribly, humongously important.

I can't believe no one wants the thrill of a thrall, that any could begrudge a drudge . . . . .

Words are supposed to work for us, not the other way 'round . . . . . [;)]
