boors
Ill-mannered types
Boors is the plural of boor, a person who is rude, insensitive, or lacking in social graces.
A boor is crude and inconsiderate, oblivious to how their behavior affects others: The dinner party was ruined by a few boors who dominated every conversation.
The word carries connotations of coarseness rather than mere awkwardness.
