adjective 
Definition:
 
carelessly tactless: lacking tact or discretion

Spelling Note

Do not confuse the spelling of indiscreet and indiscrete (= not separated into parts), which sound similar. Indiscreet is the more common word in general use and means "not tactful or able to keep a secret." Indiscrete is a much rarer formal or technical word meaning "not consisting of separate parts."
