I consider myself somewhat literate and I have heard the word “pejorative” before, but I’ll be darned if I knew what it meant. So thanks for letting me learn something new today. By the way, I went to Dictioanry to get the full definition and that gave me a new word to learn about: poetaster. Rather than being one who would bite and eat Poe, it is, actually, a perjorative for a writer of bad poetry.
Sorry for the short hijack of the thread…..
