You know how exciting this is for me.
Let me catch my breath.
OK:
So, here’s Use Number One, perfectly fine, correct, as upright and respectable as Ryan O’Neal’s parenting skills:
Is it possible that there is something in the Orthodox community in general and the haredi community in particular that creates fertile ground for this type of fraud? I’ve too often witnessed, here and in Israel, a perverse notion that we few who feel bound by the laws of God are free to flout the laws of man.
Here’s Use Number Two:
There is much to be said about the culture of a haredi community where, as Mark Charendoff, the president of the Jewish Funders Network, points out in a Jewish Week opinion piece , there seems to exist “a perverse notion that we few who feel bound by the laws of God are free to flaunt the laws of man.”

It’s rare to catch these beauts, RJO. But I’ll keep looking.

Flip, flop. Flout, flaunt.
Boo-boos that give rise to taunt.
Worse! Consider if you founder,
Ending up as food for flounder.
