Oh come on, vulgar and reprehensible.  "Vulgar" words are simply the 
short, Anglo-Saxon words for certain bodily functions and parts.  Words 
of Latin origin with the exact same meanings are "polite."  It's a 
remnant of the period following the Norman conquest of England, when the 
language of the ruling class was "polite" and the language of the common 
people was "vulgar."
