uncouth
This word is generally used as a critical description. It describes someone who does not follow social rules of politeness or something that looks rough and unfinished. It is more formal than words like 'rude' or 'gross.' You will often find it in literature or professional reviews rather than in casual daily conversation.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Jessica is frantically organizing the board meeting seating chart.
Mr. Sterling
I've decided we shall dine on wings. Fingers only, no napkins.
Jessica
Sir, that is completely uncouth. I'm having a meltdown over the linens.

The contrast highlights Mr. Sterling's eccentric disregard for social norms and Jessica's extreme anxiety regarding propriety and organization. The phrase 'having a meltdown' is used as natural slang for an emotional breakdown.
