I have no idea either. But to hazard a guess it might be someone in a multi-sub dynamic who makes sure they all do whatever is expected of them while the dom is away.



Just a guess, as said in the post above, it's a new one on me, too.

Maybe a Master who owns multiple slaves? But I'm just guessing contextually, never heard this before.

@ newbiesubfiftyfive,

I’ve not heard of it either. I’m curious, what context did you hear it used in?

I'm almost afraid that it may be some insta-dom trying to sound all "gor-ish" and making up his own scary, dommy words.

I mean, the dictionary context of overseer is, a person who supervises others (responsible for making sure that the system or activity works well and is successful).

Digging a little further, I found it used in contexts of biblical and (actual non-consensual) slavery texts. A Master or overseer determined the circumstances of those they were overlooking.

That is exactly what I was going to say.
