Brash

/ˈbræʃ/ adjective

Bold and confident in a way that's rude or shows a lack of respect; impulsive and aggressive.

Origin uncertain, possibly from Old English 'bresc' (brittle) or related to 'brass' (the bold metal). By the 1500s it was used to describe people who acted boldly without proper respect. The metallic connection is likely—brass is hard and showy.
