Happy National Writing Day. I suspect your uncle was an outlaw rather than a scofflaw. I thought that scofflaws ignored laws that were hard to police - like library/parking fines...
Hi Sandra - definitely Happy Writing Day and to all author's futures. I didn't know Scofflaw - but EC's comment makes lots of sense. Sideburns - I'd no idea about ... but they go up and down. Cheers Hilary
Scofflaw. I suppose it is self explanatory but I didn't know the word. Outlaw is not bad but perhaps not used here, or in your country either perhaps now. Nope, I am at a loss.
Btw, my Yahoo app is ok, but the desktop website certainly is not and hasn't been ok for over a day.
I feel quite smug this morning, inasmuch as I knew the word “Scofflaw” and I think I may have actually used it a few times. Donald Trump is a scofflaw of the highest order, followed by those of his sycophants who follow his example.
Fun word and fact today.
I have never heard of scofflaw, something learned again! Hugs!
I like the word Felon 😉Didn't know that about sideburns. Happy National Writing Day. I hope your day is productive.
Didn't know that word, but did know about sideburns.
This word is new to me and I didn't know about sideburns! Xo
EC, That is the most common definition for sure.
Hils, Heh. They do go up and down, don't they:)Cheers.
Andrew, Scofflaw is a new one for me, but outlaw is used a lot over here. I am sorry to hear about your desktop website. Ack. Hope that turns around. Keep me posted. I haven't tried anymore attachments on gmail.
Good job, David. And yes, prime example.
Thanks, Christine;)
Val, It was a new one for me too:) Hugs received and returned.
Thanks, CJ. And felon is definitely a good word;)
Good job on knowing about the sideburns, Jamie:)
Denise, It's a fun word though, isn't it? xo
Love that word. It rolls off your tongue.
Feliz día de la escritura. Te mando un beso.
Scofflaw is a great word. I didn't know that about Burnside/sideburns but it makes sense!
I never heard the word scofflaw before, but I did know about the sideburns. I think I heard it during a Gettysburg tour...maybe.
Yay, national writing day! I must go write something.
It does, doesn't it, Jacqui?
Thanks, JP. Sending you hugs.
Jeanie, It's a good word though, isn't it? Agreed on the Burnside/sideburns making sense:)
Elizabeth, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't mentioned on your tour since it was that time period. Get writing, girlfriend;)
I learn something new every day...or I try to! :)
Hmm, maybe a synonym for scofflaw could be criminal or rebel. But rebel would be questionable/confusing since there are rebels who didn't break the law.
