As we await the next biker gang mass shooting in America, let us recall the all-important distinction between FLAUNT and FLOUT.
Flaunt is a verb that means to show off or display proudly, often in an ostentatious manner. For example: She likes to flaunt her wealth by driving a flashy car.
Flout is a verb that means to openly disregard or disrespect a law, rule, or convention. For example: He was arrested for flouting the city’s curfew.
I think we can agree that the writer in my headline meant FLOUTING.
