Breach of good manners (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solecism

'breach of good manners' is the definition.
(instance of incorrect behaviour)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for solecism that I've seen before include "Social gaffe" , "Grammatical (or social) blunder" , "Grammatical mistake" , "Absurdity" , "Incongruity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
