Why not say it the way your Mom and Dad used to say it, MASTER BEDROOM!
You can just get out of your Primary room and go vote in the Primary because it's a Primary concern to do so.
My mom and dad didn't call their bedroom the master bedroom. They called it their bedroom. As in "put this pile of laundry in my bedroom and that pile in your sister's."

Us generic new england suburbians didn't have the luxury of having a "master" bedroom. The term wasn't part of our vernacular. None of us in our neighborhood had walk-in closets and most of us didn't have a bathroom attached to the bigger bedroom in the house.

Even my grandparents, who were somewhat affluent and DID have what you call a "master bedroom" didn't refer to it as such. Their bedroom was their bedroom. Their attached bathroom was their bathroom. Their jacuzzi shower was known only as "the shower" even though there was a shower in the other bathroom as well. That other shower was known as "the other shower."

I think some people obsess way too much over words - and the people making the most noise over the obsession aren't the people you think they are.
