Could be worse. For a while, there was a Swedish term for
Mistress being used, officially approved and all; after all, the
heralds had used a good dictionary.

Then there were real Swedes  joining the SCA, and
the heralds; and it was discovered that, while that Swedish term
for Mistress really did mean that, it was often used as a sort-of-slang
term for dominatrix. . . The heralds soon found another, more
appropriate term.
