A flounce post is when one must proclaim that they are leaving a community forever. These attention whores are nearly as amusing as those who use "deleting your LiveJournal" for attention. Rather than quietly leaving an LJ community, they feel they must leave a long ass, boring, nonsensical post explaining why they are so much more highly evolved than anyone else in the community. Names may be named, events may be recalled, but they are, at essence, a nice, delicious whine.
Like any good whine, flounces are varied in their history, maturity, texture, quality, bouquet and mouth feel, but all boil down to a subtle, inherent, and slightly fruity expressiveness:
—Loser with no life, All of LJ, all the time |
The Biggest TL;DR Flounce Ever on the Internets
— Clearly this man has very little to do with his life now that he lost the one thing that made him cling to the internets so desperately. |
Note how he could have dealt with all his irl issues, as long as he has his e-lationship gf there to hold his e-hand through it all.
Then again, his proclamations of leaving turned out to be a farce when he was there just days later to post Myspace surveys about how depressing his life has been since then.
IRL Flounce
On occasion, one may witness an IRL flounce, such as the flounce of one David Palmer, nominee for the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, who wrote the following in a letter announcing his desire to no longer be considered for the position, after questions were raised -- ie, that he himself was the subject of a discrimination complaint:
The classiest flounce in history
The year is 1772. The Prince is keeping his orchestra away from their families by making them entertain him late into the summer holiday. Court composer Joseph Haydn responds with a symphony in which after a couple of minutes the orchestra starts walking out on the Prince one by one, until there's noone left except the Prince sitting alone in the dark thinking "WTF?". The Prince got the message and let them go home the next day, thus making this also the only recorded example of a successful IRL flounce. Play 'em off, harpsichord cat.
