flout:

1. To treat with contempt and disregard; to show contempt for.
2. To mock, to scoff.

how to use in casual conversation:

"i understand if you don't like me but do you really need to flout?"
"she flouted at the idea of riding the bus"
"you flout too much"

not to be confused with:

clout

how it makes me feel:

apparently the WOTD is like the new york times crossword puzzle; it gets tougher toward the end of the week. i'm saying this because monday WOTDs seem to be sort of disappointing, or at the very least unchallenging. it reinforces everyone's propensity for not doing a damn thing on mondays. i mean i've been sitting here for an hour and i haven't even looked at my email. maybe if the WOTD was a little more mind-expanding i would be prepared to jump up and face the day with all the ambition of someone who tries to make every moment a model of efficiency and productivity.

i know. i'm hilarious sometimes......
