RR084 W.O.W. Pejorative
This week’s word goes to show you that new words and learning is everywhere…and it can be fun.
We give people pet names that are sometimes unkind at their core. Often we don’t even realize it. Sometimes pejorative terms are simply intended as an insult sometimes they are a meant as a pet name.
Formulate your own opinion on which words might be good to cleave from your vocabulary.
This week’s word is courtesy of an Iliza Shlesinger concert called Confirmed Kills. (I highly recommend if you like your comedy with a side of makes sense in the real world.)
