The JEs don't mention the inaka gloss. It's fine but I don't think it should lead.

Not this term, but the related 卑語. Only sense [2] would seem to apply.

  Comments:
Comments on 卑語[2].  Marked 卑語[2] as [obs] because I don't think it is usable with the sense given here. Not sure if this is [obs], [rare], [dated].   IME won't even build this word(either kanji). The reason that ngrams for 鄙言 beat 卑言 would seem to be that this term has fallen into almost complete disuse.  Google results suggests it is principally vocab trivia.

"language used in rural areas" is wordy, but this is not a term for anyone to use in practice either.  Better that if someone search "vulgar" they don't think to use this. Given that this is rare and dated, given the kokugo definition "slang" seems out of place. 

jlogos has "スラング" as 類語 on 卑語 for sense [1], but we don't have "slang" there (nor do I think we should).

Sorted on hits. Seems not to be quite the same as 鄙諺.
