Patriarchal Princess 

A female who is comfortable with the world remaining a patriarchal society.

This term is similar to a "pick me girl." The only difference being that pick me girls uphold the patriarchy to gain favour from men while patriarchal princesses stand by the patriarchy simply because they prefer it. They prefer the life that patriarchy affords them and have no interests in fighting gender equity.
Person: Both men and women should provide in a home. It is unfair to deem one gender the provider while the other does nothing.
Her: No, it's best that way. A man should provide. A woman can help out if she chooses but it is not her place to provide for the family.
Person: You're obviously a patriarchal princess. You like the patriarchy so far it favours you.

I am thankful for my framily matriarch: Mother to all Misfit Children, she who shrinks when she's angry, buys Christmas decorations in July, grills a mean London broil, turns vegetarians into carnivores, cooks for all us with love and gives each and every one of us a place of home and sense of family regardless of our situation.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
