Impudence \Im"pu*dence\ ([i^]m"p[-u]*dens), n. [L. impudentia:
   cf. F. impudence. See {Impudent}.]
   The quality of being impudent; assurance, accompanied with a
   disregard of the presence or opinions of others;
   shamelessness; forwardness; want of modesty.

         Clear truths that their own evidence forces us to
         admit, or common experience makes it impudence to deny.
                                                  --Locke.

         Where pride and impudence (in fashion knit) Usurp the
         chair of wit.                            --B. Jonson.

   Syn: Shamelessness; audacity; insolence; effrontery;
        sauciness; impertinence; pertness; rudeness.

   Usage: {Impudence}, {Effrontery}, {Sauciness}. Impudence
          refers more especially to the feelings as manifested
          in action. Effrontery applies to some gross and public
          exhibition of shamelessness. Sauciness refers to a
          sudden pert outbreak of impudence, especially from an
          inferior. Impudence is an unblushing kind of
          impertinence, and may be manifested in words, tones,
          gestures, looks, etc. Effrontery rises still higher,
          and shows a total or shameless disregard of duty or
          decorum under the circumstances of the case. Sauciness
          discovers itself toward particular individuals, in
          certain relations; as in the case of servants who are
          saucy to their masters, or children who are saucy to
          their teachers. See {Impertinent}, and {Insolent}.
