(not-comparable)Too hasty.
“I realized that I had been overhasty in selecting a dance partner when my toes were trodden on yet again.”
“He denounces in the most impressive language that overhasty and most dangerous practice of resorting to manual or instrumental interference, before the os uteri and other soft parts are duly dilated.”
“He entered into a discourse filled with phrases like "secondary consciousness" "collective hallucinations," "nerve-force," wherein, while admitting that great and good men believed in the phenomena of "spiritism," he concluded that they were overhasty in assigning causes. For his part, the realm of hallucination was boundless.”
