Rude person with rude manners

Hi,

I would like you to suggest the correct adjective for describing a person who is rude, has rude and not elegant manners.

I have found lots of word in English but I am afraid that some of them are offensive.

Please check and tell me one word not offensive and specify which ones I should avoid.

Thanks

Greetings Well, I would like you to use adjective "Impudent" to describe person with rude behavior. Moreover, it's not offensive at all and you can use it in different situations. For example The boy was punished for his impudent behavior Best Regards Obaid

Please re-check

Hi Regards,

nice, thank you for the suggestions but I do not know if these words are offensive. I need to say that this person is vulgar, not elegant, ignorant and with rude manners. Do these words include all this?
Can you please check here?

In Italian we translate this "contadino" which means farmer.

In the sense you're using it, contadino ~

hick, rube, yokel, bumpkin, country bumpkin

These all mean 'an unsophisticated person from a rural area'.

Note, however, that these - including contadino - are nouns, not adjectives.

In the future you may also find these useful: dweeb, nerd, jerk. They are similar to those above, but without

Hi,
In my opinion, "an unsophisticated person from a rural area" doesn't necessarily have to be rude.

Be careful not to confuse uneducated people with rude people, Pamela.

What do you think, CJ?
