aplomb

noun. a state of calm, collected control over oneself; poise. In martial French fencing, aplomb is not to brandish a weapon—not to be “en garde”—but to be perfectly prepared to do so. To have aplomb is to start no shit and always keep it a hundred. Aplomb is effortless and overwhelming rizz, both kind and dangerous.
