What is a pejorative mean in slang?

In slang, "pejorative" is often used as a shorter way to say "a word or phrase that is intended to be insulting or disrespectful."

Here's how it might be used in slang:

* "Don't use that pejorative term for them, it's rude!"

* "That's a real pejorative way to talk about someone."

* "They used a whole bunch of pejoratives in their rant."

Essentially, it's a way of saying "that's a nasty thing to say" without being too formal.
