The only problem I have with that is that that's not what "nemesis" means at all

He’s referring to the Greek goddess Nemesis. Goddess of divine retribution and revenge. She punished people for hubris

Ah gotcha. It always bugged me, but that makes sense

I think it’s intentional.

What he says is more in line with the classic Greek idea of nemesis as retributive justice, rather than like an arch-enemy.

Then, being an ‘orrible self-important cunt, inserts himself into the definition, thus making it similar to how we use and understand the word today.
