It means both things. Though, conversationally, impertinent is used more for someone who is not showing the appropriate level of respect to a superior or an elder. It is not only used for people but things, such as an impertinent reply or an impertinent regard.

It means rude and impolite, or in informal language : 'cheeky'.
