Its quite funny, because crass in itself cannot exist.
As shloppy above said, it has no genuine meaning and even if it did, it would not be valid to all as it is by definition, an interpretation which we all know isn't the same from all angles.
Most of the definitions of the word are also pointless, if it stopped at insensitivity it would have a far better meaning.

Do you honestly think I had no idea who it was meant at.
Your last posts have been several dogs taking a dump and a toilet. Im not quite sure advice is something I need to take from you

Anyway, back on subject, if I lived in a council estate where people struggled financially and parked a lambo or ferrari on the drive that could be seen as crass, it isn't the same thing where I live so my point above is very valid and I'm not sure it wise to argue against that ?

As I said, its a difference of opinion.

All you really needed to say is that the meaning of the word crass is subjective.

Subjective:
based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.
