Definition
郎君 is a historical and literary term of address. In classical Chinese, a wife would use it to refer to her husband (similar to 'my lord' or 'husband'), and it could also be used as a respectful term for a young gentleman or a man of noble bearing. You'll encounter it in traditional operas, historical novels, and period dramas, but it is not used in modern everyday conversation.
