CONTEXT
Confieso que me ha dado por portarme mal. Me rebelo ante las órdenes, busco limones que no aparecen, exijo disculpas que nunca llegan y, gran majadería la mía, pongo mis opiniones en un Blog -con foto y nombre incluidos-. Como ven, con estos treinta y dos años –tan impertinentes- ya me viene tocando un correctivo.

neutral  Carol Gullidge: sorry, I didn't see you already posted "irrelevant", but I disagree with "impertinent", which is NOT the same as not pertinent. Perhaps it would be worth reposting, as 'impertinent' is misleading. ///NO! Impertinent ONLY means insolent in EN!

In fact, Carlos already posted irrelevant as a 2nd suggestion, but this is masked by the misleading header word: "impertinent". If/when he reposts, I'll give him an Agree
