| His Zapa isn't a pure young man who becomes corrupted, nor is he a diehard crook who adores the effrontery of becoming a policeman. |
| What worries me is the sheer effrontery, the level of twistedness implicit in what he is doing. |
| I know he doesn't hear that one much because he managed to communicate stunned, silent disapproval at my effrontery over the telephone. |
| A lot of it's just effrontery, sheer brazen nerve, and a sort of monstrous cockiness. |
| With brazen effrontery, however, they painted themselves as martyrs for freedom. |
| But woe betide the people when they have the effrontery to take a stand on higher principles. |
