ぶっきらぼう

• 読み: ぶっきらぼう
• ローマ字: bukkirabō
• 発音: /bɯkkiɾaboː/

意味

Curt; blunt; brusque; speaking or acting without warmth or social niceties.

A na-adjective typically written in hiragana describing a communication style that is abrupt and devoid of pleasantries. It does not necessarily imply malice — ぶっきらぼうな人 may simply lack social ease rather than be hostile. In fiction and character descriptions it is often used to indicate a tsundere-type personality: rough on the outside, warm within.
