You gotta love words that sound like they mean one thing but really mean something completely different. For instance, I would not have connected "afflatus" with genius or inspiration, but with something else entirely.
Like the word "refulgent." It's a grand old word, but relatively few people know what it means, which makes it a perfect tool for the Insult Apparent.
