Conservatives have rightly attacked rap for its misogyny, violence and over-the-top vulgarity.

Dinesh D'Souza

Vulgarity begins when imagination succumbs to the explicit.

Doris Day

Very notable was his distinction between coarseness and vulgarity, coarseness, revealing something; vulgarity, concealing something.
