and to act insolently was to act in violation of the established rules of social intercourse .
He who did this was insolent ;
and thus the word became one of the most offensive in our language ,
indicating gross disregard for the feelings of others .

indicative either of scorn or triumph .

Impertinent }, {
Affront },
