- EASE
- POISE
- APLOMB
- STYLE

APLOMB is one of my favorite words, and one that is often used to describe moments of sporting excellence, usually by Lionel Messi, but to my mind it has to carry a bit of insolence along with the panache.
A better example would be the character of Beth in The Queen’s Gambit as she navigates a male-dominated world and destroys her opponents with casual cool. That said, when I first heard it I thought it was odd that people were delivering things with a plum.
