He's an unpolished brute.


Explanation:
Mais uma sugestão.

Example sentence(s):
  • Lando was uncomfortable with speaking like an unpolished brute, so he had crafted Tamtel into a man of very few words.
  • pronounced the captain " a nasty man," " an unpolished brute," and various other as enviable cognominations
