	Issue 7/2007: Vulgarism - Bulletin - David Report - your pathfinder into the future
		If we compare it to the postmodernism there is at least one big difference between the work of Ettore Sottsass and the others involved in the postmodernist movement from the 70s and 80s and the riders of the new Vulgarism; the lack of an intellectual standpoint and an impugning discussion.

		One kind of vulgarism, defined by the OED as "a colloquialism of a low or unrefined character," substitutes a coarse word where the context might lead the reader to expect a more refined expression: "the tits on Botticelli's Venus" is a vulgarism.
		More broadly, as "vulgarity" generally has a social and moral component, a "vulgarism" offers a substitution for a commonplace that is not a mere euphemism; it draws attention to the speaker's high-toned moral superiority or sophistication.

		Vulgar is an example of pejoration, the process by which a word develops negative meanings over time.

	Words Mean Things! - Trails Section - Clovis Free Press
		A few day ago State lawmakers in Idaho rejected a proposal to change place names that include the word "squaw," which some Native Americans believe to be an insult deriving from a vulgarism for female genitalia.
		In fact, linguists agree that the etymological meaning of the word, a borrowing from the Massachusett language, is simply "woman," with no insulting implications.
		People continue to use "squaw" in place names because the concerns of Native Americans have not been taken as seriously (which is also why "Redskins" and "Braves" are still used as the names of professional sports teams), not because the word is or is not a vulgarism.
