Definition: Impertinent
Impertinent
\Im*per"ti*nent\, a. [F., fr. L. impertinens,
-entis; pref. im- not + pertinens. See
Pertinent.]
1. Not pertinent; not pertaining to the matter in hand;
having no bearing on the subject; not to the point;
irrelevant; inapplicable.
[1913 Webster]
Things that are impertinent to us. --Tillotson.
[1913 Webster]
How impertinent that grief was which served no end!
--Jer. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
2. Contrary to, or offending against, the rules of propriety
or good breeding; guilty of, or prone to, rude,

coxcomb; an impertient remark.
[1913 Webster]
3. Trifing; inattentive; frivolous.
Syn: Rude; officious; intrusive; saucy; unmannerly;
meddlesome; disrespectful; impudent; insolent.
Usage:
Impertinent,
Officious,
Rude. A person is
officious who obtrudes his offices or assistance where
they are not needed; he is impertinent when he
intermeddles in things with which he has no concern.
The former shows a lack of tact, the latter a lack of
breeding, or, more commonly, a spirit of sheer
impudence. A person is rude when he violates the
proprieties of social life either from ignorance or
wantonness.
“An impertinent man will ask questions
for the mere gratification of curiosity; a rude man
will burst into the room of another, or push against
his person, inviolant of all decorum; one who is
officious is quite as unfortunate as he is
troublesome; when he strives to serve, he has the
misfortune to annoy.” --Crabb. See
Impudence, and
Insolent.
[1913 Webster]
