Information
has gloss	(noun) a term of address for an English lord milord
has gloss	eng: In the nineteenth century, milord (also milor) was well-known as a word which continental Europeans (especially French) whose jobs often brought them into contact with travellers (innkeepers, guides, etc.) commonly used to address Englishmen or male English-speakers who seemed to be upper-class (or whom they wished to flatter) – even though the English-language phrase "my lord" (the source of "milord") played a somewhat minor role in the British system of honorific forms of address, and most of those addressed as "milord" were not in fact proper "lords" (members of the nobility) at all. The word "milord" was occasionally borrowed back into the English language in order to be used as a sarcastic or jocular reference to British travellers abroad.

has gloss	spa: En el siglo XIX, milord (también milor) fue una palabra muy usada por parte de europeos continentales (especialmente, franceses) para dirigirse a ingleses o hablantes de inglés que parecían ser de clase alta, con los que por motivos de trabajo llegaban a ponerse en contacto (o a los que deseaban adular) &#8212. No obstante, la frase inglesa "my lord" (el origen de "milord") desempeña un papel menor en el sistema británico de formas honoríficas de tratamiento, y muchos de aquellos a los que se les llamaba "milord" no eran de hecho propiamente "lords" (miembros de la nobleza). La palabra fue ocasionalmente utilizada en inglés para referirse sarcástica o jocosamente a los viajeros ingleses del exterior.
