Syn: Overbearing; insulting; abusive; offensive; saucy;

Usage: Insolent, Insulting. Insolent, in its primitive
sense, simply denoted unusual; and to act insolently
was to act in violation of the established rules of
social intercourse. He who did this was insolent; and
thus the word became one of the most offensive in our
language, indicating gross disregard for the feelings
of others. Insulting denotes a personal attack, either
in words or actions, indicative either of scorn or
triumph. Compare Impertinent, Affront,
Impudence.
[1913 Webster]
