User:The Hunt/Vulgarism

Vulgarism is a literary concept that expresses a particularly crude and obscene feeling, with many subjects of the genre being flatulance, excretement, exposure of one's sexual organs and almost anything of a sexual nature. More infamous than famous, the genre has been viewed with contempt by authors and critics alike more interested in other, more "acceptable" fields in novel-writing. The word "vulgar" comes from the latin word vulgas meaning "not something you would incorporate into a conversation with your grandmother". Some famous vulgarist authors and playwrights include Richard Bullton, Gianluca Del Ponto and Lord Walter Carthy, some famous titles being Pope Francesca's Wet Fart, The Saggy Bosoms of Eldbridge Manor and Queen Victoria's Threesome.

History

Early Examples

The first proper example of vulgarism comes from an ancient Mesopotamian tomb that dates back to approximately 5600 B.C. In the inner chambers of the tomb there is a short inscription on the left hand wall that reads "I, Iziah Hulteni, did get an erection of large stature from the buttocks of Jana Beezentile, grandmother of Yujgnefi Qiiltire. I was much aroused". The next vulgarist literature comes from the ancient Egyptians, mainly focusing on the topics of excretion and urination (especially with the then-famous "Ramses gets the Runs"). The Egyptian era also saw the emergance of the first legitimate vulgarist. Olam Kaz, scribe for Thutmose IV, often entertained the dirt-poor villagers by drawing pictures of the Pharaoh in several sexual positions with a Nile alligator. Of course, it wasn't long before Thutmose found out, and Olam was beheaded. Although he was the first victim of a literature-related death, he lives on in the heart of vulgarists (and reptilian perverts) everywhere.
