Vulgarity
SIR WALTER SCOTT once happening to hear his daughter Anne say of
something, that it was vulgar, gave the young lady the following
temperate rebuke: My love, you speak like a very young lady; do you
know, after all, the meaning of this word vulgar? 'Tis only common;
nothing that is common, except wickedness, can deserve to be spoken of
in a tone of contempt; and when you have lived to my years, you will be
disposed to agree with me in thanking God that nothing really worth
having or caring about in this world is uncommon.
