Anyone who revels in the appellation "Autodidact" is automatically an insufferable little shit and should be treated with the contempt they deserve.

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

Just gonna point out that there's a traditional appellation, of sorts, that means "bringer of light"
Sorry but “I beg your forgiveness for the fact that the death of my father made my thoughts stray from you and your joy for even one second, O Bringer of Light” is not a love letter, it’s a cult devotional.
The Daily Beast publishes several of Natalie Harp's love letters to her man.

The only EU leader who deserves the appellation
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

New name for East Anglia just dropped. I think we should embrace the appellation, actually
In Scottish Gaelic, "ton Shasainn" ("the Arse of England" is a colloquially accepted term for that bit of England in the South-East that does look like buttcheeks.)

The appellation is also meant to implicitly justify violence against lessers ie when they say US cities are like "third world countries" they mean they're filled with savages it's ok to kill. It's just the theology of slavery all over again

I continue to maintain that Miller's correct appellation is, "White House Palace Goblin" and I'm pretty sure goblins can commit slander.
