Also means
impudence
Usage Note
Impertinencia denotes both the quality of being impertinent and a specific impertinent remark or act — ¡qué impertinencia! (what impudence!). The adjective impertinente can also refer to something irrelevant or out of place, not only rude, which mirrors the English false-friend caution: 'impertinent' in older English meant 'irrelevant'.
Examples
"Su impertinencia ofendió a todos los presentes."
Natural Translation
Her impertinence offended everyone present.
