"Himōto" is a pun on "imōto" (little sister) and "himono," which means "dried fish," but in slang can refer to a woman who is proper in public but lazy at home.

Oh. lol.
Learned sth. new here - so that's why this translation tool (rikaikun) always came up with sth. dried fish... :D

I always thought it might be a pun /mix-word of hime (in a spoiled-brat oujo-sama sense) and imouto.
*darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.*
