vulgar
In modern English, "vulgar" is most often used to describe things that are rude or offensive, especially when talking about language. It can also be used to describe a lack of taste or class, such as someone who spends money in a way that seems 'showy' or unrefined. When you see it used in history books (like "the vulgar tongue"), it doesn't mean rude; it simply means the language spoken by ordinary people rather than the formal language used by scholars.

🎬Tuesday afternoon; Jessica is frantically organizing the boardroom for a client visit.
Mr. Sterling
The gold-plated staplers are just too vulgar, don't you think?
Jessica
I'm losing it. Please just pick a color so I can wrap this up.

Mr. Sterling uses 'vulgar' to describe the lack of taste/sophistication in over-the-top luxury items. Jessica uses the idiom 'losing it' to express her extreme stress and near-breakdown, and the phrasal verb 'wrap this up' meaning to finish a task.
