The term "un gentlemanly" refers to behavior or actions that are considered crude, impolite, or lacking the qualities typically associated with a gentleman. It is used to describe manners, conduct, or language that goes against the principles of etiquette, courtesy, and respect.
An individual can be labeled as un gentlemanly if they engage in behaviors that are deemed disrespectful or inappropriate in social settings. This could include using offensive or offensive language, displaying rudeness towards others, or behaving in an uncultured or uncivilized manner. It can also encompass actions that violate accepted codes of conduct, such as cheating, dishonesty, or manipulation.
For example, if a person acts boorishly by speaking loudly and interrupting others during a formal dinner, that behavior can be categorized as un gentlemanly. Similarly, if someone engages in aggressive or confrontational behavior instead of resolving conflicts through calm and respectful communication, they can be considered un gentlemanly.

Etymology of UN GENTLEMANLY
The word "ungentlemanly" is a compound formed from the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "lacking", and the noun "gentleman". The term "gentleman" originated in Old French as "gentilz hom" (gentle man) and then appeared in Middle English as "gentilman". It was a term used to refer to a man of noble birth or high social status who conducted himself with chivalry, courtesy, and refinement.
The addition of the prefix "un-" to "gentleman" in "ungentlemanly" negates the positive qualities associated with being a gentleman, implying behavior that is contrary to proper conduct, good manners, or decorum.
