mister
Fine droplet dispenser
Mister is a title of courtesy placed before a man's name, nearly always abbreviated to Mr.
It applies to any adult male regardless of status, though it carries slightly more formality than using a first name alone.
When used without a name, mister can address a stranger directly: Hey, mister, you dropped your wallet.
The word also appears in compound titles like mister chairman or playfully in mister know-it-all.
