Begging your pardon, but I believe you are making a new use of the word temerity , which Merriam-Webster defines as "unreasonable or foolhardy contempt of danger or opposition." I think you mean to say audacity or courage, unless you're expressing schadenfreude at someone else's display of temerity.
/This from a guy who once said "Platonic method" when he meant to say "Socratic method," and who can't keep Cormac McCarthy and Carson McCullers straight.
