How it's used

Reserved for figures of authority or public status, this term carries a formal weight that implies a hierarchical relationship. It is rarely used for peers or family members, as it specifically denotes the kind of reverence one feels toward a leader, mentor, or public figure. Using it for a friend or partner sounds overly dramatic or ironic.
