Derogatory

Derogatory

<dee-rog-ah-tor-ree>

unfavorable; demeaning; degrading;

saying unflattering or slanderous things about someone.

Your derogatory comments are not true because I am a good person.

Memory trick:
Derogatory reminds of degrade.
We degrade someone when we say bad things.

At work:
Don't put derogatory comments in your report. Only say positive things.
