     Usage: To {Contemn}, {Despise}, {Scorn}, {Disdain}. Contemn
            is the generic term, and is applied especially to
            objects, qualities, etc., which are deemed
            contemptible, and but rarely to individuals; to
            despise is to regard or treat as mean, unbecoming, or
            worthless; to scorn is stronger, expressing a quick,
            indignant contempt; disdain is still stronger,
            denoting either unwarrantable pride and haughtiness or
            an abhorrence of what is base.
