The term "flout" appears in literature as a versatile weapon of both irreverence and rebellious defiance. Authors employ it to depict characters who openly disregard societal norms or the authority of others—often in a mocking or disdainful manner. In early dramas, for instance, a character might sneer and deride his critic by flouting him with wit [1, 2], while Shakespeare’s verse employs it both as an act of insolence when witty adversaries challenge one another [3, 4] and as a defiant refusal to bow to convention or authority [5, 6]. Even nature is not immune from this imagery, with majestic banners figuratively flouting the sky in a gesture of wild, untamable pride [7, 8]. Through such varied usage, "flout" enriches the text by conveying humor, scorn, and a spirited independence that crosses genres and eras.
