Article
An adjective used to describe behavior that is not considered proper, polite, tactful, or good taste. Similar to rudeness, to be impertinent is often a sign of disrespect, but whereas rudeness is often inexcusable, impertinence retains a youthful tang of a precocity that might one day be tempered with experience and maturity.
