Working my way slowly through The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce, it struck me that some of this is pretty gameable. His entry for Regalia reads like a list of weird knightly factions or Troika backgrounds. I particularly love the "Affectionate Fraternity of Men Similarly Warted."
I have edited these slightly as they were originally in a long wall-of-text paragraph.
