unceremoniousness
Lack of formality
Unceremoniousness is the quality of being informal, direct, or lacking in ritual politeness.
It suggests dispensing with formalities—sometimes refreshingly casual, sometimes abruptly rude: The unceremoniousness of his dismissal stung.
The word often carries a note of bluntness: She appreciated the unceremoniousness of their working relationship.
