One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade. [This correctly expresses the author's meaning, which is, that the proud often attempt to make a show and parade of their importance, even in poverty. Johnson's remark on the use of the word seems therefore to be unfounded.]. | 2: [Verb] To carry a pert or saucy appearance.. Source: Webster's 1828 American Dictionary. | |
