scorn

In the seventeenth century, Thomas Hobbes pegged laughter as the companion of scorn.

His brash personality has earned him the respect and scorn of his co-workers in equal measures.

But the grid has attracted scorn from statisticians.

His characterisation of one such encounter as a "sleepy cuddle" drew particular scorn from his critics.

He wrote of a childhood in which he learned to scorn society and its codes, concluding that “you got away with anything you were smart enough to get away with.”
