boorishness
Rude, unrefined behavior
Boorishness is crude, insensitive behavior—the quality of someone who lacks social grace or consideration for others.
A boor tramples through conversations, ignores discomfort, and remains oblivious to the feelings of those around them.
His boorishness at dinner embarrassed everyone at the table.
