How to use "Insolent" in context?
Insolent adj: characterized by insolent behavior or attitudes or a lack of respect for others
A recent survey found that one-third of American adults admit to being insolent at least once in their lives. This is particularly concerning because insolent behavior is known to lead to conflict and hostility.
Insolent individuals often act with a sense of entitlement. They believe that they are entitled to what they want, and that other people should just automatically do what they say. This can lead to conflicts when other people don't want to do what the insolent person wants them to do.
