If the phlebotinum in question is simply a physical substance with unusual/extreme properties you are almost certainly dealing with the element Unobtainium. Either way, both are capable of being replaced by plastic.

No pinot, zin.
Zin. Zin. Zin.
I like saying it as much as slurping it.
Zin, for the man within.
And memories of past zins.

Given the bump and the month, may I suggest Facelift.
Such a great gathering of the tribe Ken has afforded us. Under the auspices of stewardship and cooperation we celebrate our reunion.
Thank You, Sir.

Suckhole.
as in, "That suckhole!"
a word/term that my father was rather fond of using, when he felt it appropriate. i would most often hear him use the term when referring to some politician (he was a life long blue collar democrat, btw/but he would use it in reference to politicians from either party), and he would use it in regards to anyone he felt was one notch below a "brown-noser", lol! him being a cape breton canuck, he had some even more colorful words/terms that he used, but i won't repeat any because i don't want to get booted off ST, once again. lol

eschew sarin (for some of our readers, eschew is not the same as e shoe)
Foreign ministers of the United States and Russia reached an agreement Saturday on a framework that calls for destruction within nine months of all chemical weapons in Syria. The two agreed that there are about 1,000 tonnes of chemical weapons in Syria’s arsenal, most of it sarin. (By way of comparison, the U.S. stockpile reached about 31,500 tonnes and Russia’s, 44,000 tonnes.)

For the glorious month of September the word is WANNABE!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wannabe&page=2
Poser, follower, a charlatan of sorts. One who copies or imitates all or most of the aspects dealing with their idol. They may wish to have certain clothing, skills, vocabulary, etc., of their idols instead of their own. Most likely a wannabe is lacking in self confidence and is looking for guidance.
So many operational definitions, so little time! LOL

Here's a couple options.
Polemic
A polemic is a contentious argument that is intended to establish the truth of a specific understanding and the falsity of the contrary position. Polemics are mostly seen in arguments about very controversial topics.
The art or practice of such argumentation is called polemics.
A person who often writes polemics, or who speaks polemically, is a polemicist or a polemic.[1] The word is derived from the Greek; (polemikos), meaning "warlike, hostile",[2][3] which comes from (polemos), "war".[4]
Wikipedia
or;
Pedant
A pedant is a person who is excessively concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes an ostentatious and arrogant show of learning.
Wikipedia
Could there be such a thing as a pedantic polemicist?

Wanna make something of the foregoing, sir?
You polemicists make me sick.
