If you've got it, flout it.

Yep, seeing 'flaunting the rules' everywhere at the moment!

I do like to flaunt my copy of the regulations. They match my pedantry beautifully.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Also a pandemic is by definition global, spare us the tautology.

I can be a regulations/law wanker 😂

I’m just annoyed with the outraged posts, all while using the wrong word

But are they flaunting their flouting?

I meant more that if I were to flaunt the regulations, I would be being publicly pedantic. I could just keep them at home.

Sounds like we are in the grip of a Pedantemic (sorry very bad I know). Probably murder of apostrophe's elsewhere no doubt as well.
