The words "insolent" and "surly" are not quite synonyms, though they both seem to refer to negative qualities. Both certainly imply a certain amount of unfriendliness. Insolence, however, is usually characterized by rudeness and disrespectfulness whereas surliness simply implies a general unpleasantness that is not necessarily motivated by lack of respect.
