Hi Warner,

Maybe a stupid question, but is this the correct meaning or description 
of minion?

https://www.google.com/search?q=minions

minion; plural noun: minions

     a follower or underling of a powerful person, especially a servile 
or unimportant one.
     "he gets oppressed minions like me to fob them off"

"Minion" is still a person, like "slave" is, so I must say I agree with 
Rodney about this, I don't see how this makes it any better? Can you 
explain?
