Usage Note

Vulgaridad refers to behaviour, language, or an object that is crude or lacking refinement. It can denote a single vulgar remark (dijo una vulgaridad, he said something vulgar) or the abstract quality of being vulgar. The related adjective is vulgar, which in Spanish can also mean simply 'ordinary' or 'common', a subtler sense that the noun does not always carry.
