Vulgar is more like a subset of rude. Rude is just impolite for any reason. Vulgar borders on obscene.

11 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Vulgar means "common" or "ordinary" if translated directly from Latin. The connotation originally was more about class than politeness.

"Scalding" is not a stronger version of "hot." "Scalding" is only applicable when talking about water. "Very quiet" obviously does not (1)

Alright, let's get pedantic. No human has ever heard silence--you can hear your heart and breath through your bones if you listen.

That means that every human application of silent means "very quiet", or "quiet enough so that I don't hear it in normal context."

Vulger can also mean repulsive...which most rude people are.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The vernacular vulgar has changed from common to something rude, lewd, or crude. The etymology is common, but it hasn't meant that in ages.

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

but when you think of someone as "common" you still associate them as being that way. Just think of the term "basic bitch"
