paterfamilias

paterfamilias \pay-tur-fuh-MIL-ee-us\, noun;
The male head of a household or the father of a family.

--Miles always liked to think of himself as the A.V. Club's "paterfamilias." And since he was the club's only member, no one else ever seemed to object.
--I don't care if I'm your brother. WHEN YOUR MOM'S NOT AROUND, YOU CALL ME PATERFAMILIAS. GOT IT, FUCKER?!
--Father puts the "ERF" in "PATERFAMILIAS."
--Johnny, I've always said that you need a good strong paterfamilias in your life. And so, I'm marrying your mother. No no no, don't try and talk me out of it--I insist.
