Word Of The Day

Scofflaw:

A scofflaw is someone who repeatedly and knowingly violates the law, or ignores legal summons to court and other proceedings. Many people use the word to refer to minor crimes, like parking violations and littering, reserving “outlaw” for someone who commits more serious crimes. Ignoring the law is usually not a very wise move, even when the laws seem minor, as repeated offenses can lead to a warrant for arrest and serious fines.
