What is the word for an action that is "considered to be frowned upon"?
I'm looking for an adjective to describe a behavior or action that is considered to be a faux pas, or is frowned upon.
Picking your nose is [word].
Wearing socks with sandals is [word].
Breaking wind in an elevator is [word].
Voting this question down is [word].
ok, maybe not the last one...
How about uncouth?
WordNet Search says:
S: (adj) coarse, common, rough-cut, uncouth, vulgar (lacking refinement or cultivation or taste) "he had coarse manners but a first-rate mind"; "behavior that branded him as common"; "an untutored and uncouth human being"; "an uncouth soldier--a real tough guy"; "appealing to the vulgar taste for violence"; "the vulgar display of the newly rich"
'frowned upon' sounds just right to me. It's general enough to fit all your cases. I don't think a two word locution is breaking the rules here.
Perhaps, simply inappropriate?
