Oh me,oh my....Whats next?
Words have meaning until they don’t.
Photographers use slave flash bulbs.
Time to abolish photographers.
Mental Primarybation.
Other terms soon to be dropped: Master cylinder, MasterCard, master-bate
They should call it the Big Bedroom.
Nope. That won’t work. Guys who aren’t “well endowed” will be offended.
What I want to know is why, if Mom and Dad always get the “Master Bedroom,” then why aren’t the kids’ bedrooms called the “Slave Bedrooms”?
How many times have we heard our kids yell “I’m not your slave!?” If they consider themselves slaves, then shouldn’t they be sleeping in the slave quarters?
Juan more time....
“Leftism is a violent and severe mental disorder”
“””What were once called master bedrooms and master bathrooms are now referred to as primary bedrooms and primary bathrooms by the Houston Association of Realtors.”””
This is the garbage that happens when too many people have too much time on their hands.
I have found during my work life, when people are busy at work, politics inside and outside the workplace goes away.
My husband has a Master’s Degree......oops!
“Off to your left is da room where you be sleepin’ at...”

Will the Term “Master Bedroom” No Longer Exist?
Some designers, architects, developers are moving towards a more politically-correct term for the largest room in the house.

Neurotic behavior is becoming the norm. Our society obsesses and frets over everything, even the trivial and imaginary stuff.
The garage?
I guess these idiots have no idea that the term “master” in reference to property predates slavery by centuries. It was simply a term that denoted ownership. So if you owned a house, you were the “master” of the abode and your bedroom was therefore the “master bedroom”. It was used in pretty much any ownership situation, so if you owned a fishing boat, you were the “master” of the boat, if you owned a horse and buggy, you were a carriage master etc.
Owner’s Retreat - believe I’ve already heard this used.
Well, I guess a certain company that makes padlocks has some decisions to make.
What’s the new name? Massah Bedrooms?
I’ve always called the master bedroom in my house the “main bedroom” - because there’s no master in this house! Seriously, political correctness has been around since 1980 or so — it’s now ingrained in most people younger than that.
I heard the term “Owner’s Retreat” like 20 years ago.
From https://www.etymonline.com/word/master
The history of the word, Master:
late Old English mægester “a man having control or authority over a place; a teacher or tutor of children,” from Latin magister (n.) “chief, head, director, teacher” (source of Old French maistre, French maître, Spanish and Italian maestro, Portuguese mestre, Dutch meester, German Meister), contrastive adjective (”he who is greater”) from magis (adv.) “more,” from PIE *mag-yos-, comparative of root *meg- “great.” The form was influenced in Middle English by Old French cognate maistre.
From late 12c. as “man eminently or perfectly skilled in something,” also “one who is chief teacher of another (in religion, philosophy, etc.), religious instructor, spiritual guide.” Sense of “master workman or craftsman, workman who is qualified to teach apprentices and carry on a trade on his own account” is from c. 1300.
The meaning “one charged with the care, direction, oversight, and control of some office, business, etc.” is from mid-13c.; specifically as “official custodian of certain animals kept for sport” early 15c. (maister of þe herte houndes; the phrase master of the hounds is attested by 1708). As a title of the head or presiding officer of an institution, late 14c.; as “captain of a merchant vessel” early 14c.
