Uncouths

Uncouths, as a noun, refers to individuals perceived as lacking good manners, refinement, or grace. They are often considered boorish, rude, and unpolished in their behavior and social interactions. This perceived lack of social grace can manifest in various ways, from inappropriate language and disregard for etiquette to clumsy movements and an overall lack of decorum. The term often carries a connotation of being uneducated or from a lower social class, but ultimately describes actions rather than origins. Their behavior is generally considered outside of common and acceptable practices within a specific community or culture.
