unceremonious
Without formal courtesy
Unceremonious means without the expected formality or politeness—abrupt, blunt, or hasty in a way that disregards social niceties.
An unceremonious dismissal happens without proper acknowledgment or ritual.
An unceremonious departure is sudden and undignified: He made an unceremonious exit through the back door.
The word often implies rudeness or lack of respect for someone's importance.
