Your Royal Heinous

What you're really saying in your seemingly-respectful greeting of a political-figurehead leader whom you actually view as being a horridly mean/cruel/selfish person.

In the popular musical comedy "Fiddler on the Roof", it appears that the oppressed citizens of Anatevka secretly view their heavy-handed government leader as "Your Royal Heinous" --- in an opening scene, the rabbi is asked: “Is there a proper blessing for the tsar?” The rabbi responds: “A blessing for the tsar?” He ponders awhile, then pronounces: “Of course... 'May God bless and keep the tsar... far away from us'!”
