Exactly like "Herr Professor" and "Herr Doktor."

Rather like Mister Professor Senator President Obama, usually abbreviated MPSP Obama, "mipsip" to his friends and "mipsy" to his wife (but never his children).

We educated we-the-People Americans do like our titles and insist on them (just like we adore capitalizing "People", very master-race chic!), to show the lesser not-quite-people just how important we are. None of that French egalitarianism for us!
