Abstract This essay aims to pragmatically approach the verbal courtesy of university students, particularly in their formal and informal communicative situations. For university teachers, one of the most striking features is based on the use that students give to vulgar words as forms of nominal treatment. In both formal and informal conversations, the groups establish linguistic differences that try to mark their group identity. Moreover, in its different communicative situations, it is common to hear terms and statements that indicate their desire to discredit their teachers using inappropriate words that manifest ignorance, voluntary or involuntary, by politeness. In their usual conversations, university students frequently use the vocative "marico", "marica" and "güevón" as markers of discourse, words that for people outside their groups may denote a poor and vulgar language, for them they constitute words with meanings very different from the one given in the formal and academic language.
