milady
Curtsy's spoken accompaniment
Milady is an archaic or affected form of address for a woman of high social rank, from "my lady." It appears in historical fiction and period dramas: Milady, your carriage awaits.
The word often carries ironic or mock-formal overtones when used today: Well, milady, shall we dine?
