Doctor as a title for non-medical things is older than medical doctor. All of this "you're not a real doctor" rigamarole comes across as hillbilly stupidity.


True.

But anyone, even MDs, who insist that people refer to them as "doctor" are insufferable douchebags.

I have a doctorate, call me whatever you want.

I agree with all of this. Outside of professional environments, academic or otherwise, it’s kind of tacky to insist on being called doctor. It’s not something I would do.
