Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
"Vulgar" means lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined, coarse, or offensive.
The antonym of vulgar is "Decorous", which means keeping in good taste and propriety; polite and restrained. Replacing "vulgar" with "decorous" would invert the meaning of the warning.
"Ribald" means referring to sexual matters in an amusingly coarse or irreverent way (synonym).
"Licentious" means promiscuous and unprincipled in sexual matters (near-synonym).
"Impervious" means unable to be affected by something.
