churlishly
In surly manner
Churlishly means in a rude, surly, or ill-tempered manner—behaving with the gracelessness of a churl (an old word for a peasant or boor).
Someone who responds churlishly is curt or ungracious when courtesy would be expected: He churlishly refused to thank his hosts.
The word suggests not just rudeness but a certain petty meanness of spirit.
