flouncing
Sweeping off angrily
Flouncing is moving with exaggerated, dramatic motions that broadcast displeasure or self-importance.
Someone who flounces out of a room wants everyone to notice their exit: She went flouncing off after the argument.
Online, flouncing describes announcing a dramatic departure from a community or platform, often with grievances: He made a big flouncing post about leaving Twitter.
Separately, flouncing is attaching decorative ruffled fabric strips to clothing or furnishings.
