du er vulgær!!
You are vulgar, literally. Rå og simpel is another option, uncough and a simpleton. Or you could go the whole hog: du er en dum skid, you are a dumbshit.
I am sure there are other options, but this one is neutral, if you don't want to get caught up in it.

vulgaer is the transliteration, if you don\'t have access to Danish characters, as is raa og simpel.

I think I am going to opt out of this one, as my Danish colloquial skills are fading. i think if you said you are vulgar it might even be understood as an invitation.

Hvor er du klam!
This refers mainly to someone's personality - that you find his/her character repulsive, annoying, etc. Especially used by young people to express their dislike of someone. If you mean that someone has a disgusting habit go with the term 'ulækker' as suggested by another contributor.
