how rude

What bad manners!

How rude is an exclamation expressing indignation or disapproval at someone's impolite behavior or words.

It became a cultural catchphrase through the 1990s sitcom *Full House*, where the character Stephanie Tanner used it as her signature line.

The phrase is now often used with playful or ironic exaggeration rather than genuine offense.

She didn't even say thank you—how rude!
