Ya know, adding "meta" to a word does not indicate superiority. It indicates hidden, changed, beyond, after, or related. For example, "metadata" is data about data. For example, my data here comes after that data over there. A meta-slave would be a slave that comes after or was indicated by or described by another slave. The word they are thinking of would be "mega-slave" which would indicate this slave is bigger than that slave. Alternatively they could be referring to "uber slave" which would be this slave is so much better and preferable to that slave over there. Sinergy edited for tense issues.
