Default SWMBO was Visiting the US after a long time

The phrase, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, can be found verbatim on the English
television series, "Rumpole of the Bailey." The somewhat pompous lead
character, Rumpole, uses it to describe his domineering wife.

Just to take things one step further, "SWMBO almost" surely migrated
to the Internet woodworking community through the Old Tools group, the
Stanley plane fanciers being fond of the notion that he was Rumpole
"of the Bailey."
