loutishness
Oafish, uncouth conduct
Loutishness is crude, boorish behavior—the quality of acting like a lout.
It suggests ungainly manners, rough speech, and disregard for social graces: His loutishness embarrassed everyone at the dinner party.
The word implies not just ignorance of etiquette but indifference to it.
