I don't think either of those work. The situation in which this applies, according to Eliezer, is quite specific: another person makes a status claim which you feel is undeserved, so you feel Mysterious Emotion X toward them. It's neither chronic nor low-grade: the context here was of HJPEV schooling his teachers and the violently poor reception that met among some readers of HPMOR. (For what it's worth, I didn't mind... but I was once the iniquitous little shit that Harry's being. I expect these readers are identifying with McGonagall instead.) He's also pretty clear about believing this to be outside the generally accepted array of human emotions: he mentions envy, hate, and resentment among others as things which this is not, which pretty much covers the bases in context.

More than the specific attribution, though, it's the gee-whiz tone and intimation of originality that rubs me the wrong way. If he'd described it in terms of well-known emotions or even suggested that you could, my objection would evaporate. But he didn't.
