Term: DOMINUS DIRECTUS

Definition: Dominus directus is a term from Law Latin that refers to the immediate feudal superior.

A more thorough explanation:

DOMINUS DIRECTUS

Domino directus is a Latin term used in feudal law. It refers to the immediate feudal superior, who is the lord of a vassal or tenant.

For example, if a lord owns a piece of land and rents it out to a vassal, the lord is the dominus directus, and the vassal is the dominus utilis. The dominus directus has the right to collect rent and taxes from the vassal and can also demand military service or other obligations.

In another example, if a king grants a piece of land to a lord, the king is the dominus directus, and the lord is the dominus utilis. The lord has the right to use the land and collect rent from the vassals who live on it, but the king retains ultimate ownership and control.

These examples illustrate how the dominus directus was the immediate feudal superior who held power and authority over their vassals or tenants.

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
