This article is intended to analyze verbal impoliteness in the first and only Egyptian televised presidential debate.

The study is capitalized on Culpeper's Theory of Impoliteness (1996, 2005) as its framework to deduce how impoliteness can intentionally be used to save/threaten the face of competing politicians.
