Excerpt from the Oak Ridge National Laboratories where this same idiocy came up
a while back:

"Much lunchtime discussion over the next week resulted in a variety of
alternative terminologies, including "master/bitch", "pimp/hoe", and "indentured
servant." The last of these actually made it into some drawings, and the Powers
