Daniel, we can always crib something from sca-cooks, and use
what would be just about right for a (former) pig farmer, anyway:

"Hey, Papa Gunther!"

(Well, it actually *does* fit -- the master of a Swedish freehold, i.e.
pig farm, would be roughly equivalent to a back-country Baron. And 
a goodly portion of his "subjects" would no doubt be relatives...)
