Thanks.
Interestingly, the word "vulgar" is defined as "common", as apposed to "noble".
Vulgarities being the norm for commoners, not trained in the manner of nobility.
Thus, good manners and bad manners.

Or civilized and uncivilized, another vestige of British Israelism.

British Israelism? I don't see the connection. ???
Isn't that more about the claim that the British are the lost tribes of Israel? (highly controversial)

At the height of colonialism, being "civilized" was synonymous with being "christian" - so seeing manner based customs that are "not in the scripture" or are "the opposite of what scripture illustrates" is an extension of that. During that time, creating a nation that "was the light upon the hill" was part of the agenda. The lost tribes of Israel bit is one facet of British Israelism.
