    Is overlady the opposite of overlord?

    Or is overlord one of those all encompassing words?

    Don't think overlady is a word at all.

    o·ver·lord (ō'vər-lôrd') pronunciation
    n.

    1. A lord having power or supremacy over other lords.
    2. One in a position of supremacy or domination over others.

    Underlord?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I think she means "Is overlady the female equivalent of overlord?" in which case, i'd answer that the female equivalent is "wife". :)
