CHURLISH

coarse and ill-mannered

rude and boorish

having a bad disposition

ANT - gracious

"He wasn't expecting an overly gracious welcome, but he certainly hadn't expected the host to be so churlish upon his arrival."

"It was Jerry's churlish conversational style that had made it so hard to discuss politics in the break-room."

"He seemed to be attempting to combat the political correctness that had pervaded the room, but instead of this attempt being seen as a noble attempt at honesty, he was just regarded as a churlish personality to avoid."

"Because of his genious and the way poeple fawned over his money he could afford to have such a churlish disrespectful, ungracious personality."
