“Ingin burei” means that an unnecessarily polite attitude instead makes the other person uncomfortable and gives an impression of discourtesy. The expression combines ingin, originally meaning politeness, with burei, meaning a breach of etiquette, and is often used when someone inwardly looks down on another person or maliciously feigns excessive respect.
「慇懃無礼」（いんぎんぶれい）とは、必要以上に丁寧な態度が逆に相手に不快感を与え、礼儀を欠いているように感じさせることを意味します。本来は丁寧なさまを指す「慇懃」と、礼儀に外れていることを意味する「無礼」が組み合わさった言葉で、相手を内心で見下している、あるいは悪意を持って過剰な敬意を装っている場合に用いられることが多いです。
