Welcome to the Vita English Podcast with your host, Faith! In this episode, Faith introduces the word "boarish" and discusses its meaning. Derived from the term "boar," which refers to a wild pig, "boarish" is used to describe individuals or actions that exhibit rude, uncultured, or socially insensitive behavior. Faith provides relatable examples such as someone being disruptive at a dinner party or behaving inconsiderately at a concert.

Faith shares a personal experience where she encountered boarish behavior at a professional conference. She recounts how a member of the audience continuously interrupted the speaker and asked inappropriate questions, causing discomfort and disrespect.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own encounters with boarish behavior and how they handled them. Faith invites them to share their stories by emailing her at [email protected].
