9d: A small question expressing doubt, wonder or disbelief? (2,2)I? ??
15a. More audacious, boorish or impertinent (7)S?R???R
The third letter of 9d cuts 5th letter of 15a.

Please help me to solve the above clues.

Is it?

Sarkier, surlier.

Thank you Torquemada. Is it Sarkier or surlier? I'll settle for surlier. Thank you for the quick response.

is it
sassier?

Not with an R in the middle.

sassier has nothing to do with boorish, but sarkier has nothing to do with audacious or boorish, while surlier has nothing to with audacious or impertinent. that's right isn't it?

I therefore declare sassier wins on points.
