lord'o'master
A neologism that combines the idiom 'lord and master'
Draped in servility, a big bindi of enslavement on her forehead, the mehndi of servitude on her palms, a mangal sutra (the mother of all married tokenisms) dangling from her neck...the urban Indian wife (hindu, more specifically) dolls up to fast and pray for her lord'o'master.
