And its fun, right? That's gotta be fun.
Yeah, I'm almost sad that feminism has much such progress that that phrasing rarely happens.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is all "Dr!" and I'm all "You'll always be Missy to me, young'un."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Me and my lowly B.A. figure if someone put in the time and effort and big brains to get a PhD, if they want to be called "Doctor," that's fine by me.
But not if they want to be called "Doctor Judeo-Christian," because that would just be weird.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Unless, of course, Suzy Christian and Alfred Judeo fell in love at a Who convention and procreated.

I will attempt to go my entire life without calling my sister Dr. Ourlastname to her face. Because that's my mother. Also, I was never going to call her Miss Ourlastname to her face anyway. Because that's me. And His Excellency is my father.
She is fourth wheel. She doesn't get a title.

Frequently, people who use the phrase "Judeo-Christian" like that remind me of people with PhDs in botany or some other non-medical field who insist on being called "Doctor".
I'm sure you didn't mean this to sound so dismissive, but what you got against calling someone with a doctorate a Doctor? That degree took work.
Full disclosure: I am a PhD and use the title when I'm teaching, but not socially. But I don't see any difference between calling someone Doctor and calling someone Reverend or Father.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Vague recollections of family invitations to balls in Jane Austen novels makes me want to say that you are indeed the only proper Miss Yourlastname and your sister will have to settle for Miss Herfirstname Yourlastname, or maybe just Miss Herfirstname. She does get a "Miss," but only with a first name appended to distinguish her from the senior and proper family Miss, yourself.
Possibly you could also rightly call her Mistress Herfirstname, if you think she won't try to punch you (in which case, you just break her with your pinky and call her Mistress again).

Absolutely. The reason my sister doesn't get that from me is because she's my little sister. Also, I had to listen to her complain throughout her entire doctorate. I get a pass.
the senior and proper family Miss, yourself

She's more than welcome to try.
