impudently
This adverb describes behavior that is not merely rude, but actively defiant and devoid of shame. It suggests a conscious decision to ignore social hierarchies or norms of respect, often manifesting as a "smug" or "cheeky" attitude. While "rudely" is a broad term for poor manners, "impudently" specifically implies a bold lack of modesty or a provocative disregard for authority.
In modern usage, the word carries a strong negative connotation and is typically used in formal or literary contexts. It is frequently paired with verbs of looking, speaking, or behaving to emphasize the audacity of the subject's actions.
