impudencies
Shameless bold behaviors
Impudencies is the plural of impudence—acts or instances of shameless boldness or disrespectful behavior.
Where impudence is the quality, impudencies are the specific offenses: The servant's impudencies finally exhausted his master's patience.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned, more likely found in Victorian novels than contemporary speech.
