"Expressive?" Maybe for people of limited vocabulary, who seem to use
it whenever they don't have any other word to use. Dirty? Not usually.
Vulgar, crude, coarse, common, unrefined, boorish; always. I suppose
speech disfluencies ("um..," "uh...," "err...") could also be
considered "expressive" in the same way.
