Flout



Word of the Day: Flout


Meaning from dictionary.com: to treat with disdain, scorn, or contempt; scoff at; mock:  (VERY HELPFUL, RIGHT😕)

Simple Explanation: 

  1. This word is a verb. Basically, this means you are disobeying the law, but knowingly. Like you are a rebel. You will park only in front of the no parking sign. You will drive on the sidewalk. You just want to break the rule. You flout the rules.
  2. Captain America flouted the law in civil war. 
  3. The Joker loves to flout the law
  4. Google didn't approve my AdSense request because apparently I flouted the rules of Google. But I don't have any inappropriate content. 😔
  5. One more thing, this word is also used to mean mocking something/ someone. Eg. Bullies are famous for flouting at innocent kids. Don't let them bring you down. You are awesome!
