That's what he calls the archetype of John Bender (a character in The Breakfast Club) and describes it in a video linked-to through 'the main words' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that word into our lexicon....
The word “Scofflaw” is built on ancient words that mean "one who #Scoffs at the Law" (originally the word for one who Drank Illegally under America's Constitution's |Prohibition-Amendment). #Scofflaws
The word “Scoffs” is built on ancient words that mean |Mockery, Ridicule, Jest (based on |Shove, perhaps). #Scoffed #Scoffing #Scoff #Scoffer
The word “Rebel” is built on ancient words that mean "to Wage War Again or -|Against or -|Opposing" (Re-, Bellicose). #Rebelled #Rebelling #Rebels #Rebellion #Rebellious #Reb
