Scoundrel Don Bell 2026
The dictionary defines a scoundrel as a disreputable person. Google tells me that it means: "Someone who behaves very badly toward other people, especially by cheating them or deceiving them". An earlier definition was: "An audacious rascal, one destitute of all moral scruple."
Sound like anyone you are familiar with? Sometimes a person who is impulsive or misinformed may appear to be a scoundrel. It really depends on their awareness of their behavior or maybe a lack thereof.
