In literature, "contumelious" is employed to convey a sense of disdainful insolence and scorn, often characterizing language or behavior that is both offensive and haughty. Writers use it to depict verbal assaults and contemptuous taunts—as when characters express brutal hostility using contumelious language [1] or when a lip is “curved” in derision [2, 3]. At times, the word qualifies a broader behavior of defiant arrogance or abusive treatment, effectively capturing both the overt and subtle displays of contempt present in social or political conflicts [4, 5]. In this way, "contumelious" becomes a powerful descriptor of actions and attitudes that are as caustic in their verbal presentation as they are in their underlying intent [6].
