Bok<p>The start of the blurb on the back cover of a book about two Uranian private detectives in Victorian times:</p><p>“At a time when a man could be imprisoned or worse for being who he is, these two are flaunting the system to solve the mystery of an elusive and scandalous poet.”</p><p>“Flaunting” instead of “flouting”. O the embarrassment. Not that I think either term would apply. The pair are certainly not being ostentatious about their orientation, since that would lead to prison. So no flaunting. </p><p>And while they are breaking the rules by existing, they're certainly not being brazen about it, because, again, that way lies hard labor. Thus, no flouting. <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/vocabulary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vocabulary</span></a></p>
