I'm offended by them calling testicles "vulgar"
Little Known Fact: In Texas they don't have testicles, they have texicles.
Some people told me that school book authors in Texas actually have Texticles.
Heh nice
Vulgar in linguistics refers to street usage instead of formal. See also Classic Latin vs Vulgar Latin.
