   syn: to neglect; disregard; disdain; scorn.

   usage: slight, neglect. to slight is stronger than to
          neglect. we may neglect a duty or person from
          inconsiderateness, or from being over-occupied in
          other concerns. to slight is always a positive and
          intentional act, resulting from feelings of dislike or
          contempt. we ought to put a kind construction on what
          appears neglect on the part of a friend; but when he
          slights us, it is obvious that he is our friend no
          longer.
          1913 webster

          1913 webster

                this my long-sufferance, and my day of grace,
                those who neglect and scorn shall never taste.
                                                  --milton.
