EN: governor
The boss of a whole province. Their face is on every lamppost, tarpaulin, and bag of relief goods during election season. In historical dramas, they're the powerful Spanish dude with a big hat. In modern times, they're the one you blame for traffic in the provincial capital.
From Spanish 'gobernador'.
The female equivalent is 'gobernadora'. Often shortened to 'Gob' in informal settings.
