What does FLOUT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To treat a rule, law, or convention with open contempt, ignoring it in a way that is deliberately visible to others.
Someone who flouts a rule does more than quietly break it; they disregard it openly, often in a way meant to be seen and to signal defiance. The word carries a stronger, more provocative tone than merely disobeying, since flouting implies contempt for the authority behind the rule. Writers frequently pair flout with words like law, convention, or authority to describe conduct that challenges accepted standards rather than simply slipping past them. Because the disregard is public, flouting a rule can invite punishment or criticism precisely because it is so visible.
