impertinently
With cheeky boldness
Impertinently describes doing something in a rude or presumptuous manner, especially by overstepping boundaries or showing disrespect to someone of higher status or authority: She impertinently asked how much he paid for his house.
The word suggests boldness that violates social propriety—speaking out of turn, asking inappropriate questions, or offering unsolicited opinions.
