The article scrutinizes vulgarisms used in swear words, slangs, jargons, proverbs, sayings and idioms. Besides, the study made a survey on vulgarisms used in these lexical units by different age group respondents. While analyzing the article, it turned out that vulgarisms do not emerge as a result of anger or fury, so they can appear as a result of pampering or cuddling, too. After a rigid analysis, it became known that elderly respondents know more proverbs and sayings rich in vulgarity due to longer life experience while middle-aged people know more sexual slangs due to access to porn sites and adult videos. Teenagers do not know any proverbs or sayings containing vulgar words because of lack of life experience. After a profound investigation, it turned out that swear words host the most vulgarity while it is followed by slangs and jargons. Sexual slangs contain the second biggest vulgarity. Vulgarisms are sometimes euphemized in slangs or jargons while it is impossible in swear words.
