Confusing old and new meaning of the term
[edit]I think there's a major systemic confusion between the modern "vulgar", meaning "offensive", and the archaic "vulgar", meaning "colloquial" or "informal". A lot of older terms, including virtually everything from the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, have been misidentified as offensive, when in fact they're just colloquialisms. — This unsigned comment was added by 65.97.28.200 (talk) at 03:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC).
Some of these should be categorized as interjections
[edit]Would it not be correct to categorize some of these terms under the interjections hierarchy? Should this apply only to swearwords? __meco 15:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
