Word: Impertinent
Source: I read this word in Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State by David Maybury. It was reading homework for my Anthropology 146 class.
How it was used: They also feel it is impertinent, because they consider that the use of the Brazilian Amazon is essentially a matter for Brazilians to decide.
Definition: Impertinent-adjective
1. intrusive or presumptuous, as persons or their actions; insolently ride; uncivil: a brash, impertinent youth.
2. not pertinent or relevant; irrelevant: an impertinent detail.
3. Archaic. inappropriate, incongruous, or absurd.
4. Obsolete. (of persons) trivial, silly, or absurd.
My sentence: It is extremely impertinent to accuse others of lying when their is no proof.
