Effrontery

So I'm watching "Charge of the Light Brigade" and Errol Flynn just used the word "effrontery."

Meaning shameless boldness that is an insult to standard social decorum and propriety.

I shall try to incorporate it into my speech.

Sadly, Captain, given current "standard social decorum and propriety", being a free-market capitalist *is* effrontery.

I shall exercise impassioned effrontery and pointed repartee to oppose the thieving treachery of the vile Obama administration.
