Vulgaris

Stedmans.com Word of the Day for Monday, June 12, 2006

vulgaris
Ordinary; of the usual type

Interesting...

Did a search on the Concise Oxford Dictionary...and this is wat I found

vulgar
adj.
1 lacking sophistication or good taste.
> making explicit reference to sex or bodily functions.
2 dated characteristic of or belonging to ordinary people.
DERIVATIVES vulgarity n. (pl. vulgarities). vulgarly adv.
ORIGIN ME: from L. vulgaris, from vulgus ‘common people’.


So it's just a common word...pun intended :P
