野や暮ぼ天てん

noun

boorishness; coarseness; stupidity

Dated term for a person who is uncouth, tactless, or lacking refinement; often used as a mild insult. The word combines 野暮 (rustic, boorish) with the suffix 天, which adds a derogatory or emphatic tone.

• あんな野や暮ぼ天てんとは付つき合あいたくない。

  I don't want to associate with such a boor.

• 彼かれは野や暮ぼ天てんだから、冗じょう談だんが通つうじない。

  He's so uncouth that jokes don't get through to him.
