Gosh you're moist.

There are no words that can be described as objectively vulgar. Words are mere collection of sounds with no inherent meaning. It's the very subjective definitions and societal contexts that make them vulgar or not and vulgarity is different for everybody.

Compiling that list would give the person doing it insight into the trigger words of the respective complainers. Then it's a simple matter of repeating them back enough times so that the complainers will be desensitized to them.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That term always makes me think of the sides of beef, waiting on butchering, hanging from their meat hooks in nice little rows.
So, no. Not objectively vulgar.
