Pejorative
Derogatory, derisive and contemptuous are synonymous with this word
It means about certain words that should never have been heard
Some were invented recently, and some so long ago
On the day they were first written, in an already language that flowed
Terms such as Quaker, Tory and Yankee
At first were condemned, we now appear to thank thee
Some are still considered pejorative, whilst others appear in reflection
Cripple, redneck and many others, if not a group member is the question
Sometimes a term may begin, and be accepted through the years
And eventually be adopted in a non-pejorative sense than smear
Derogatory, derisive and contemptuous are synonymous with this word
Whilst many are used beyond, lack of grammar is their absurd
