I did not, in fact, know the word sangfroid. I expect I'm in for a lexidemic of sangfroids now.

I have neither, but I'm chock full of ambivalence.

Is no one going to make the requisite William Carlos Williams "I have eaten the aplomb that was in the icebox" reference?

Actually, I was going to make the Little Jack Horner reference.
