Differing interpretations have been given for the meaning of the photograph. Art historian Erin C. Garcia wrote that Ray "emulated the melodrama that compensated for the lack of dialogue in silent films" in Larmes and likened the model's eyes to "insect-like creatures with hundreds of legs", and another critic wondered whether the image was "ridiculing female crocodile tears, or pouring scorn on the men who are taken in by such sentimentalism". A 1995 sale of Larmes valued the image at between $200,000-250,000.

As Mugabe's main opponent in Parliament at the head of the Republican Front (as the RF renamed itself in 1981), Smith presented himself as the guardian of what he called Zimbabwe's "white tribe". He spoke gloomily about Zimbabwe's future prospects, repeatedly accused the Mugabe administration of corruption, malevolence and general incompetence, and criticised Mugabe's support for a one-party system. The RF took an increasingly confrontational line in the House after Mugabe and other government ministers began regularly pouring scorn on the white community in national broadcasts and other media. Amid rising tensions with South Africa, various white Zimbabweans were arrested, accused of being South African agents, and tortured.

The seat has a safe Conservative majority but its present holder John Crowder is not managing that majority well and an alternative holder is being considered. Thatcher is shortlisted for the candidacy and, though the misogynistic Crowder tries to convince Heath (now Chief Whip) to oppose Thatcher, she retains Kaberry's support. She hopes Denis will accompany her to the selection panel, but goes ahead without him when he cannot return from Africa in time. She reaches the final two and on the way to this final hustings silences Crowder's open contempt for her and her chances by pouring scorn on his unremarkable political career.

In most physical and biological sciences, the use of either quantitative or qualitative methods is uncontroversial, and each is used when appropriate. In the social sciences, particularly in sociology, social anthropology and psychology, the use of one or other type of method can be a matter of controversy and even ideology, with particular schools of thought within each discipline favouring one type of method and pouring scorn on to the other. The majority tendency throughout the history of social science, however, is to use eclectic approaches-by combining both methods. Qualitative methods might be used to understand the meaning of the conclusions produced by quantitative methods.

As Thanksgiving approaches, the Dunphys receive a visit from their old kid neighbor Kenneth (Josh Gad) who idolized Phil (Ty Burrell). Kenneth tells the family that he dropped college and is now an Internet billionaire because of the ideas he had on video games, something that he owes to Phil since he was the one who was always telling him to follow his heart and told himself to 'think like Phil' when making decisions. Haley (Sarah Hyland) takes the opportunity to say that it is not so bad not to go to college and follow your dreams instead, something that upsets Claire (Julie Bowen). Phil starts to wonder why he isn't as successful as Kenneth, and starts to believe that Claire pouring scorn on various ideas is what held him back.

Coppice Road had been made in 1837,vide: A. Stapleton, Old Mapperley(1902), p.144 ().The Common, of 54 acres, and the adjoining Coppice of the Hunger Hills (124 acres) were open to the inhabitants of Nottingham, but owned by the Corporation as lord of the manor.R.M. Butler, 'The Common Lands of the Borough of Nottingham', Transactions of the Thoroton Society, 54 (1950), p.45; J. D. Chambers, 'Population change in a provincial town: Nottingham, 1700–1800' in D.V. Glass & D.E.C. Eversley,( eds.), Population in History: Essays in Historical Demography (1965), p.337 The term ‘battle‘ may have been popularised by a long poem about the event, which appeared in the Nottingham Review a month later on the 23 September. The poem, called ‘The Battle of Mapperley Hills’, while pouring scorn on the authorities and the militia, was, ironically prefaced; ‘is respectfully dedicated to the Magistrates…..' Nottingham Review, 23 Sept 1842,p.7 The disturbances began on Thursday 18 August when a resolution to cease work ‘until the document known as the People's Charter of 1838 became the law of the land' was adopted in Nottingham Market Place by a meeting of more than two thousand.

Gaitskell did not rule out further nationalisation, but saw it as a means to an end, pouring scorn on the idea that Labour should be committed to nationalising "the whole of light industry, the whole of agriculture, all the shops, every little pub and garage". Bevan now claimed he had "misunderstood or misheard" what Gaitskell planned and was reported to be "absolutely livid" and "wondering whether to blow the whole thing wide open". In the end he made a conciliatory speech, mentioning that Barbara Castle (who had attacked Gaitskell's proposal) and Gaitskell had both quoted his own dictum that Socialism was about controlling the "commanding heights" of the economy. He argued that according to the principles of Euclid if two things are equal to a third thing they must both be equal to one another, and so there could not be any real difference between Castle and Gaitskell.Campbell 2010, p238-9 Benn wrote (28 November 1959): "Nye’s speech this afternoon was witty, scintillating, positive, conciliatory – the model of what a Leader should do. He didn’t knock Hugh out but he gently elbowed him aside".
