Chiefly British informal. Almost exclusively paired with healthy — the phrase 'rudely healthy' functions like a fixed expression meaning 'remarkably strong and well.' Use with other adjectives is extremely rare.

常見錯誤

❌He is rudely strong.
✅He is rudely healthy.
💡This sense almost only works with 'healthy'; using it with other adjectives sounds unnatural.
