nonparliamentary
Not formally legislative
Nonparliamentary describes language or conduct that violates the rules of decorum in a legislative body.
Calling another member a liar, questioning their motives, or using profanity would be ruled nonparliamentary by the presiding officer: The chair ruled his remarks nonparliamentary.
The term extends to any speech considered inappropriate for formal deliberation.
