    Brash

    No, I mean brass: “figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness.” (DEFINED)

    Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as “self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way”). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

      brass: “figurative…”

      Huh, TIL. That’s a very uncommon usage in my area.
