1. (obsolete) "slovoyers", ironical term for the honorific Russian suffix -с (an abbreviated form of сударь, or sir) that was formerly used to emphasize the speaker’s politeness or servility before a person of higher social status.

   ...це́лую жизнь не говори́л словое́рсами, вдруг упа́л и встал с словое́рсами.‎ ― ...céluju žiznʹ ne govoríl slovojérsami, vdrug upál i vstal s slovojérsami. ― I didn’t use the word ‘sir’ all my life, but as soon as I sank into low water I began to say ‘sir.’ — Fyodor Dostoevsky, "The Brothers Karamazov"
