unmitigated gall

Absolute impudence, complete effrontery. The use of gall, which carefully speaking agency the liver’s secretion, or bile, and its addendum to acerbity of any kind, dates from about a.d. 1000. In backward nineteenth-century America, however, it began to be acclimated in the faculty of “nerve” or “brazenness.” Its common bond with unmitigated, meaning “unmodified” or “intense,” occurred in the twentieth century.Learn more: gall
