Has anybody actually heard Doug refer to Voldemort as 'Lord Emo' or equivelant?

From Chapter 3, about 2/5 of the way through:

The real kicker was how the whole conflict ended.  In an incident
that was so unreal as to be practically mythic, Flight-of-Emo
basically nuked himself.  On Halloween 1981, he went after a
family who had gone into hiding, killed the parents, and then got
taken out by an unprecedented magical backfire when he tried to
kill their toddler with a no-miss, no-fail death ray spell.  Of
course, because Voldemort had his death-avoidance plan in play --
Albus was pretty sure Lord Emo had used partial soul anchors and
had made at least two -- he didn't die from this, but Wizarding
Britain didn't know (and didn't *want* to know) that.  His body
got vaped by the backlash and he ended up discorporated in the
usual manner for those with partial anchors, neatly terminating
(for the moment) his campaign, his threat, and his ability to
scratch his butt.

(bold for this post only) To my surprise, that is the first (and only, so far) place Doug refers to him as "Lord Emo".  I guess I've been thinking so far ahead I'd forgotten he hadn't actually started calling him that in conversation with others yet.
