If Lord Dubs, a literal Kindertransporter, doesnt agree with banning protests then what the fuck are we doing? Why is the government doing this other than because it hates free speech and hates Palestinians even more?

We should be banned from watching Eddington at this point.. how is this movie becoming a weekly thing 💀 lorD

(obsolete) The master of the servants of a household; (historical) the master of a feudal manor.
Lord means: The master of the servants of a household; (historical) the master of a feudal manor.. The word is mostly archaic or historical; you will only encounter it in old texts, period drama, or school history rather than current teen conversation. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
lord means: The master of the servants of a household; (historical) the master of a feudal manor.. Register: archaic, historical. Almost never used today; you will find it only in older texts, dictionaries of dialect, or historical writing. Avoid in active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
