A play on the phrase "Nom de plume", typically to represent an alias while facing depression or fear. In Xavier Renegade Angel, a man known as Dark Notion in Season 2, Episode 3 "El Tornadador", is sick of society and changes his name as a Nom De Gloom to hide himself from society.
Dark Notion: Oh, the ecstatic anguish of being treated like society. My new nom de gloom shall be known as "Baron Society WEINBERG"!
Xavier: Whatever flicks your bean, society..
