Dumb insolence is an offence against military discipline in which a subordinate displays an attitude of defiance towards a superior without open disagreement.[1] It is also found in settings such as education in which obedience and deference to a teacher is expected but may be refused by unruly pupils.[2] For example, a pupil may suck their teeth, sigh or walk away while being spoken to.[3]
