"Dost as told" is a phrase used to describe someone who is obedient to instructions or a command. Synonyms for the term include compliant, submissive, subservient, obedient, acquiescent, conforming, docile, meek, and tractable. These descriptions all indicate a willingness to follow orders and be obedient to someone in a position of authority. "Dost as told" is often used in a dismissive or derogatory way to describe someone who is seen as automatically doing what they are told without questioning or thinking for themselves. However, in some situations, being obedient may be necessary or desirable, such as in military or emergency situations.
