Sentence: TrimTim had many revolting habits which had a tendency to sicken, nauseate and repel even even the most uncultured buffoons. He would perform the grossest SLOBLUTIONS in public places, spitting with abandon like a professional baseball player, even though he never had a profession to speak of. Even the homeless people gave him a wide berth lest they be caught in his radius of repugnance and have their precarious social standing reduced even further......ugh!

Pronunciation: /vuhl'-groom-ər/

Sentence: Every time I looked over at Ted during the meeting, he was vulgrooming himself -- first, picking food out of his teeth, then with a finger stuck in his ear, digging around for earwax, which he later scraped off on the edge of the table -- as if the conference room were his personal bathroom, and the rest of us were simply intruding, and subject to witness his rather uncouth hygienic habits.

Etymology: vulgar (Latin, vulgāris - equiv. to vulg[us] the general public) + groom (possibly from Old French, grommet - "servant"); Vulgroom, -er, -ing
