crass
Stupidly, offensively blunt
Crass describes behavior or remarks that are crude, insensitive, and lacking any refinement or subtlety.
A crass comment shows no awareness of others' feelings; crass materialism is offensively focused on money and possessions.
The word suggests not just ignorance but a kind of obtuse vulgarity: It was crass to ask how much their house cost.
