Ostensibly, it would probably be egregious, but I also see ostensibly a lot.

On which very dilemma resides - notwithstanding - the ethical, etiquetical (and, dare I say it, even eschatological?) dilemma of discourtesy!
Evidently, it is "evidently".

Selon Freud , le moi, the conscious part of oneself that recognize reality is constantly opposed to the "id" part called the "ça" in French or "la chose".
So which is it?
Not.

First!
While First is certainly used excessively and often incorrectly, I would not say that it is used flagrantly. Not, on the other hand, is expected to stand in for entire well-ordered logical arguments, a requirement which is ostensibly egregious.

A egregious statement of such magnitude deserves more ostentation for its extravagant presentation.
I hesitate to articulate on a subject so dubious to my mental capacity, for fear I may deviate from the veracity of the subject.
From Webster's:
Definition of FLAGRANT
1: archaic : fiery hot : burning
2: conspicuously offensive <flagrant errors>; especially : so obviously inconsistent with what is right or proper as to appear to be a flouting of law or morality <flagrant violations of human rights>
— fla·grant·ly adverb
Assuming the second, non-archaic definition, not many words commonly encountered on this site come to my mind actually. I guess I've seen the word "fool" unfairly used a few times.
(Pretentious? Me? I'm not pretending, I really *am* a pedant)
Perhaps it is more common in the Open Discussion group.

The question is not one of the flagrancy of the words themselves, but rather that of the usage of said words.
Pancake or waffle.
As usual, waffle is clearly out in front.
Waffles are best when they are flagrant.
So are bananas when coated in brown sugar and rum (in the archaic sense of the word)
