That’s the honorific for Mayor up here…Your Worship…can you imagine that in the USA?
the thought of saying that disgusts me.
I feel the same way about “your Honor.”
Fair enough, but id rather say that to a judge, then to someone we supposedly democratically "elected" to represent us.
Same with the “Honorable” senators and congresscritters! All disgusting!
mayors are down by doctors towards the bottom, you’ll see I’m correct.

Well I'll be dipped in dogshit. Thanks anon, sorry for the error
Never in a million years would have imagined such a title ever existed, let alone in modern times. What a mind warp.
Worship apparently comes from Old English weorthscipe ‘worthiness, acknowledgment of worth’ (worth, -ship).
Oh wow they still do that? That's old school. My friend in high school grew up in Newfoundland. So I got to learn a few Canadianisms.
