barefaced
Barefaced typically refers to being openly or shamelessly bold, direct, and unashamed. In other words, displaying behavior with blatant disregard for others' reactions or feelings. Originally, it was used to describe someone without a beard or hair, and eventually evolved to represent transparency or lack of disguise in behavior. It can also refer to an absence of disguise or mask in one's actions, leaving one 'barefaced'.
