How do you use the word crass in a sentence?

Answer 1

I believe the word comes from the roman general Marcus Crassus, who would use his private fire dept.'s services as a way to extort and buy peoples property at a cut rate ( while the house was on fire! )

Answer 2

Unrefined and lacking in discrimination and sensibility. Ignorant may also be used, but not to the extent of "crass". Ignorant can mean the same, but crass extends this to being totally unaware of any thing other than your own being and your basic surroundings. Crass is the extension of ignorant. Inane, blundering, and asinine should be used as synonyms. Anything negative towards "socially illiterate" should suffice for this definition.

Crass may also refer to being inappropriate, especially in regard to social norms in speech and actions.

The man's crass sexual remarks to the teenage girls even embarrassed the bulls grazing in a nearby pasture.
