Someone who is vulgar or rude can be described as ordinary.
From the Latin ordinarĭus , ordinary is an adjective that allows us to name something common and regular, that happens regularly or that is frequent . For example: “Don't worry, it is an ordinary and common illness among children under five years old,” “It is an ordinary fault that can appear in any house,” “Next week the ordinary sessions of the current legislature end .” ” .
Ordinary is also that or that vulgar thing, that has no distinction and that is of little esteem : “That man is an ordinary, he didn't even respond to my greeting” , “Don't be ordinary, don't you know that burping is bad manners” , “ The president was very ordinary when insulting his opponents,” “I invested a lot in his education but I have to admit that my son is ordinary.”
The daily expenses that a family has and what they usually eat are also known as ordinary: “The purchase of the new television was not part of the ordinary expenses of our budget” , “Yesterday I made the ordinary purchases of the week: meat, vegetables , milk, oil and a few other products.”

Precisely within the religious sphere we also have to make clear the existence of what is simply known as ordinary. Under this name is the diocesan bishop. A term that is related to what was called the ordinary month, which was the date established for this ecclesiastical authority to present the benefits of all kinds that had been obtained.
All this without forgetting that in the past, although it is now out of use, the term ordinary was frequently used to refer to that man who worked as a carter and who was in charge of transporting both goods and people from one town to another.
