Pejorative

Pejorative words are usually words that offend people

Retard is a pejorative term for people who are mentally challenged.

Midget is a pejorative term for people who are small

Nerd is a pejorative term for people who wear glasses

Geek is a pejorative term for people who are obsessed with a hobby.

Pejorative terms are usually offended to women such as: being a wizard is a complement but being
a witch is not. I think this happened because in the olden days women did not have a much power as men.
