Miss Hottieknockers sounds a lot like a question. Why yes, I most certainly do. ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > You forgot to log off at work again, didn’t you? Of course not. The name would have been ovine in nature. I think “Miss Hottieknockers” is a bit odd, but if she doesn’t mind it, more power to you. ---

I liked the nickname that _Rumpole of the Bailey_ secretly calls his wife Hilda: “She Who Must Be Obeyed”, a reference to the jungle queen novel _She_ by H. Rider Haggard. ---

My fiancee took this from the Baz Luhrman movie _Australia_ (which wasn’t amazing, but did have it’s moments). The young boy who somewhat narrates the story refers to Nicole Kidman’s character as “Mrs. Boss.” I like it.
