headmaster
hed ma ster
- n presiding officer of a school
- Or so, at least, its cranky and clueless headmaster believes.
- The headmaster approaches the kneeling boy and, holding the handle of the birch with both hands, smites the bare behind of the boy six times.
- He also had a cheeky rebelliousness toward authority, which led one headmaster to expel him and another to amuse history by saying that he would never amount to much.
