Loutishness is the quality of being a lout — the , the roughness, the badly brought-up force in how someone acts. You use it when you want to name the pattern, not one single shove. A newspaper might complain about the loutishness of a few fans, meaning a whole style of behaviour: shouting, shoving, treating a public place as if it were theirs. It is a noun for a fault in manners, and it sounds a little formal and a little , the kind of word a headteacher or a columnist reaches for. Though actually, it is still about ugliness of behaviour, not about being poor or as such; a rich person can show plenty of loutishness. In everyday talk, people are more likely to say or bad behaviour. Keep loutishness for when you want that extra stamp of ‘this was coarse, and it mattered’.
粗魯、沒教養(指那種莽漢式的態度或行為,是抽象名詞)
