One shrugs off such vulgarity (9)
I believe the answer is:
roughness
'vulgarity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'one shrugs off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'one'+'shrugs'='oneshrugs'
'oneshrugs' with letters rearranged gives 'ROUGHNESS'.
'such' is the link.
(Another definition for roughness that I've seen is " Hoarse quality".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
