    Since you are apparently new to the internet, or q dumb fuck, I decide to post a definition:

    proportional - corresponding in size, degree, or intensity

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/proportional

    I am tired of idiots like you overlooking the context in order to make a stupid ass statement.

    You are NOT nearly as smart as you think you are.

    "Also, if "equivalent" is meant by "proportional","
    it doesn't and that is pretty damn clear. Your first clue was that they use the word 'proportional'.

    Flaunt:: to display ostentatiously or impudently
    Flout: to treat with contemptuous disregard

    Both are accurate. Flaunt context is not substandard.

    Of course, form you post you don't know what the word context means either.
