Doesn't flouncing quietly defeat the purpose? I mean, people might not even notice that you're gone. They might never even think, "Hey, old wat'sname hasn't posted in a long time. Wonder what happened?"

Flouncing quietly is indistinguishable from simply leaving, and therefore unsatisfying.

It kind of depends on the voice of the narrator and the personality of the reader. If the narrator is a really outspoken, fun person, "flouncing quietly" would be a cute and quirky thing, so it might work.

It also depends on the reader because some people might find it funny. Others might find it unprofessional. I'd probably avoid that phrase.

I flounce at least once every couple of weeks from the Comedy Cabaret (though we call it founcing in there), just to keep my hand in. Once I flounced in verse. I'm not sure it counts, though, since I usually check in immediately afterwards so people can rate my flounce.

Of all the random threads on AW, this one is my favorite. (Now that I see that in writing, I think I've said it before, but I'm too embarrassed to scroll back and look... )


BenPanced, thank you. I had to share that link with my four social-media addicted kids...er, 3 kids, and one husband. Tutorials like that are good to have bookmarked. :)

Wow. A guy finds a great video related to the topic and he doesn't get enough reps?

Wow. Just...wow. Is all.

Pfft. 2/10. You didn't mention lurkers or jackboot mods or anything.

(I've actually seen someone leave a real life party in a similar fashion to that video. It didn't last quite as long, but it did give us a lot to talk about after she left.)

Cripe. You've been here long enough to know you've got to at least mention Haskins.

I'll only give this a 3 1/2 out of 10.

You can do better than this. I know you can.

You know, come to think of it, only one person repped my rhyming flounce. And it mentioned Haskins and jackboots and lurkers.

Damn it. Consider it reposted. I'm flouncing.

I saw that! And that's just the kind of meanie mcmeanie jackboot attitude that caused me to flounce in the first place. Also, the time before that and the time before that.

Well, I mean, to be fair, you did say you'd flounced, Ben.

ETA:

See? See how mean Haggis is? That's it. I'm done.
