  • A vulgarism, also called scurrility, is a colloquialism of a low or unrefined character, which substitutes a coarse, indecorous word where the context might lead the reader to expect a more refined expression. For example the term "the tits on Botticelli's Venus" is a vulgarism. Vulgarisms are assumed to be associated with low and coarse motivations that were stereotypically supposed to be naturally endemic to the 'meaner classes', who were not moved by 'higher' motives like fame for posterity and honor among peers—motives that were alleged to move the literate classes.
