Sounds cool, PT, and welcome aBoard!
Flagitious has to have the same root as flagrant, surely? And what about flogging? People got flogged if they flagrantly violated the law. (Gosh, I keep wanting to type fragrant!)
And this: A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge. -Daniel J. Boorstin, historian, professor, attorney, and writer (1914-2004)
Now, there is some food for thought indeed. How many times have all of us come across (or been in) situations where we or someone else thought we knew what was going on but came to find out we didn't? Ex.: multitudes of people, from the movers to today, have looked at my address and thought they knew where my house is. Then the phone call comes.
Or--I read in one of my Dick Francis books that between 80 and 100 solo hours are when pilots are most dangerous, because by 80 hours they think they know enough and by 100, they know they don't.
