The term used in the Rumpole series originally came from a Victorian romance/adventure novel "She" by Rider Haggard about Ayesha or "She Who Must Be Obeyed" the queen of a mysterious lost African kingdom. It just made my day to be able to add something to a PGJ post :) On the downside, you have to be old enough to remember reading it as a kid :(

: She who must be obeyed.

: Think of it as a legal term, or a lawyer joke.

: The term comes from a series of books, by john Mortimer, and the British
: series "Rumpole of the Bailey" which came from those books in
: the late 1970's.

: The lead character, a barrister named Horace Rumpole refers to his wife,
: Hilda, as "She who must be obeyed."

: A website regarding this is:

: Leo McKern, who played the part of Rumple, passed away July 23, 2002 at the
: age of 82. http://www.tvheaven.ca/rumpole.htm
