Well, the House of Lords obviously still uses titles of nobility. And Esquire has its place in the Order of Precedence, and I've never actually heard it be applied to anyone. Not really the same sort of honorific at all. Now, if you'd said 'sir', [i]then[/i] we'd be getting somewhere. 

The existence of the relationship has no impact on the existence of a word to acknowledge that someone's your senior or junior in a setting. XD

Oh definitely, that was just the example that came to mind. Also fun fact: Dame is the female version of Sir, whereas Lady is when a woman was merely married to a Sir or Lord. I will say that any female-specific honorifics are likely to lack a suitable match, as old english was extremely male-oriented.

Also it does when someone specifically says "it doesnt exist in the west as it does in japan". :p
