English term or phrase: That was insensitive as hell
Testo teatrale canadese (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due persone che stanno parlando di una donna morta da poco.

A: She was completely stupid. Sorry. That was insensitive as hell, wasn’t it?

La mia proposta:

A: [...] Chiedo scusa. Un po’ troppo indelicato, vero?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
