Not requested or invited; unwanted or unnecessary, especially when referring to rude behavior that wasn't asked for.
From prefix 'un-' (not) plus 'called' (from Old English 'ceallian' meaning to summon or invite). Literally means 'not called for' or not invited to happen.
The phrase 'uncalled for' is something teachers say constantly—it's a brilliant way to point out that someone did something bad without permission or invitation. It's passive-aggressively perfect!
