There may be some out there that have done enough to deserve an honorary degree or doctorate, but I would find it hard to call someone that. That is not to say I wouldn't if it were someone that I looked up to and do so out of respect similar to Bishop or something. IDK.

Is that an idiomatic expression like "inner monster" or a technical term ?

Your credentials, Champ?

BTW, McGillicutty ... the synonyms you provided for rouse ... were verbs when it was used as a noun ... which denotes ... a signal.

Still waiting on your curriculum vitae ... Dr. Coadie.

I don't send my professional CV to non professionals like yourself.

Are you just a professional blogger by night and professional dog catcher when the sun is out?

It is called work. I actually spoke with my University advisor yesterday.
You take classes, do a reserch, write a dissertation and do an oral defense.
I did choose my oral defense panel. One I chose because we could speak in german together.
I had an employee from Nebraska. He was doing his doctorate and was also coaching in sports. He dropped out without a dissertation when the footbal team coach changed. Lost his job and doctorate in Psych.
An honorary doctorate is dishonoring to those that worked for theirs.

In my opinion, yes.

We can call them Dr. whether it is an "earned" degree or an "honorary" degree.
