AISCHROLOGIA 醜言法
ANOMIA in the form of use of unacceptable vulgar language.
(The vice of) foul speech and swearing.

Ancient Chinese: Quite rare in the transmitted literature, but not entirely absent, even in LY notorious cases are recorded. An isolated instance in LSCQ, perhaps.

In LY, Confucius occasionally verges towards AISCHROLOGIA.
