English Synonyms and Antonyms
rude
Whatever is not civilized is barbarian; barbaric indicates rude magnificence, uncultured richness; as, barbaric splendor, a barbaric melody. Barbarous refers to the worst side of barbarian life, and to revolting acts, especially of cruelty, such as a civilized man would not be expected to do; as, a barbarous deed. We may, however, say barbarous nations, barbarous tribes, without implying anything more than want of civilization and culture. Savage is more distinctly bloodthirsty than barbarous. In this sense we speak of a savage beast and of barbarous usage.

How to use rude in a sentence?
Be kind to all and rude to none.
Bible, Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7:
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
' I'm not rude, I'm just immunocompromised' was a direct quote of what I wanted to say to every person I socially distanced myself from, the phrase is essentially a shortened version of' I really don't want to be rude -- but I also really don't want to end up on a ventilator !'.
I didn’t make any noise, i wasn’t rude. I didn’t curse at anybody. I was just sitting enjoying a cup of coffee with friends.
They’re in for a rude awakening.
