homuncule 

Latin for "blockhead."

Often used by someone who has had brief experience with Latin and wishes to try and assert their superiority through Latin words.

Cain: I am totally just as great as you!

Abel: Your contributions are pithy in comparison to mine, homuncule! Latin hasn't even been invented and I'm already using it to sound smarter than you!

Homunculus 

An absolutely foul shot: Made from an egg yolk and Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur, commonly served in a double shot glass. Meant to represent an embryo and semen that would be used to make a Homunculus in Alchemy.

Ten seconds after my man Dave downed the homunculus, he chundered all over the carpet.

4. A miniature, fully formed individual believed by adherents of the early biological theory of preformation to be present in the sperm cell.

His lackluster attorney-general Alberto Gonzales, who was forced to resign in disgrace, was only the most visible of an army of over-promoted, ideologically vetted homunculi.

Homunculus 

a tiny fully formed individual that (according to the discredited theory of preformation) is supposed to be present in the sperm cell

Hippocrates and Aristotle proposed the idea of what they called pangenes, which they thought were tiny pieces of body parts. They thought that pangenes came together to make up the homunculus, a tiny pre-formed human that people thought grew into a baby. In the 1600s, the development of the microscope brought the discovery of eggs and sperm. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, using a primitive microscope, thought he saw the homunculus curled up in a sperm cell. His followers believed that the homunculus was in the sperm, the father “planted his seed,” and the mother just incubated and nourished the homunculus so it grew into a baby. On the other hand, Regnier de Graaf and his followers thought that they saw the homunculus in the egg, and the presence of semen just somehow stimulated its growth. In the 1800s, a very novel, “radical” idea arose: both parents contribute to the new baby, but people (even Darwin, as he proposed his theory) still believed that these contributions were in the form of pangenes.

"my, that homunculus in your sperm really has your eyes!"
