It sounds precisely as edgy as I thought. Supervisor/grunt. Yodel/echo. I offered one with whimsy and another without as much edge.

There's a lot of really well-fitting words to accurately describe the relations. Master/Slave is honestly not one of them.

My thoughts exactly. The only positive to the deprecated name might have been its memorability, but that’s hardly worth using slave/master
