[Ads-l] Singular "we"

[Bill Mullins]

I've known of "editorial we" and "royal we" for most of my reading life.  I was just re-reading Thomas Harris's "Hannibal" and came across "magisterial we".  Since this is a re-read, obviously I've seen "magisterial we" before, but it never stuck.

Are there other types of "we" that refer to a singular speaker?
