2 answers by real people - What does “Insolent delicacy” mean?
-
‘Delicacy’ can mean sensitivity, and insolent means insulting or maybe obscene, so I’m guessing ‘insolent delicacy’ refers to a situation where one person found another person’s sensitivity disturbing.
The phrase sounds old-fashioned as if it is from an old book, or maybe translated from another language such as French or Spanish – sometimes these phrases don’t translate well.
