Definition
behavior thought not to be proper — such as immoral or rude behavior
- The word (for "father" was not so much obscene as–with its connotation of something at one remove from the loathsomeness and moral obliquity of child-bearing–merely gross, a scatological rather than a pornographic impropriety); the comically smutty word relieved what had become a quite intolerable tension.p. 151.7
There are no more uses of "impropriety" in Brave New World.
