flippantly
This term describes a specific type of irreverence characterized by a lack of appropriate seriousness. It carries a strong negative connotation, suggesting that the speaker is being dismissive or superficial in a situation that demands gravity, respect, or emotional depth. It is often used to describe behavior that is perceived as arrogant or tactless.
In social contexts, using this word implies a judgment of the person's character or current state of mind. While "casually" might describe a relaxed approach, "flippantly" specifically highlights the inappropriateness of that relaxation given the solemnity of the circumstances.
