Terms of abuse or terms of disparagement are pejorative words and phrases which are either intended to be or are often regarded as insulting, impolite or unkind.
While terms with a negative connotation are available for the discussion of many subjects (such as referring to an automobile as a jalopy) this article is limited to disparaging terms for people. Likewise, this article is limited to discussion of the English language.
