So is it “flaunting” or “flouting”?
Jackie: So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin’
around in broad daylight. She’s flouting society’s conventions!
Kramer: She was flouting.
Jackie: That’s totally inappropriate. It’s lewd, vesivius, salacious,
outrageous!
The library police. One of the best Seinfeld episodes.
I wonder sometimes, whatever happened to video stores? Why did they go out of business? I would still go there, if they were still in business. I never got into internet streaming or hundreds of channels on satellite TV.
Ah, here we go.
If you treat a convention with disdain you are flouting it. If you make an ostentatious display of something then you are flaunting it. So why is this a problem? Mainly because people seem to have the habit of using flaunt to mean flout.
“Witch” is obviously a sexist reference and since she was in possession of an item that associated it with an underage female, this clearly rises to the level of a felony offense in today’s jurisprudence. She’s just lucky she didn’t mis-gender the person in question or it might have been a death penalty case.
Hey, don’t Bundy that book!
There’s got to be a statute of limitations...doesn’t there?
Miss DeGroot : You’d like to check these out, would you? Well, I’m afraid you can’t! Do you know why?
Young Al : ‘Cause I didn’t bring you French fries like the other boys do?
Miss DeGroot : You’re a bad seed, Bundy. You can’t have these books because you are consistently overdue, you never have the money to pay... and looking at you now I doubt you ever will.
Young Al : I’ll bring ‘em back, I promise.
Miss DeGroot : You always promise, but you don’t follow through. And that, in a nutshell, is your problem. Make a promise, keep a promise.
Young Al : Yeah, yeah, bake a pie, eat a pie.
Sounds like a job for Christopher Wray and gang.
The crime rate in Oklahoma must really be down to be doing this to keep semi law enforcement dolts working.
So the flout the flaunting?
Well I certainly feel safer now. /s
Casa Video in Tucson is still open.
Try your local library. I still get dvds that way. And I return them. Also, we have Redbox in supermarkets, which are rental vending machines.
Depends on her identity. If the is a conservative, White, Christian she will end up labeled as a terrorist. If she is a good leftist drone, charges dismissed with an apology and something for inconveniencing her.
Obviously she didn’t return it because of racism and white privilege.
gosh you sure love punishment!!
