Was this an in-house survey among the minions, or did you go outside the walls?

And does the OED organize its millions as well as the
Henchmen-of-Ernesto?  It has Drones at the lowest level, through
Stooges, Lackeys, and Gofers, all the way up to Minions.  And
T-shirts with insignia.

(See Cul-de-Sac, Sunday.)
