The people have sacrificed their children to these dragons.
Which is pejorative to dragons, yet apt.

Behind the Pages of Pejorative: With the Author - Jason G. Butterfield

New post: How a 'what-if' became a warning.
Pejorative started as fiction, until reality caught up.
It’s my first novel. It’s messy on purpose.
Hybrid war, memory crimes, propaganda.
The story behind the story is up now.

I thought the use of the word #unicorn was #pejorative; indicative of #magical thinking and fantasy beliefs about lasting financial success. Apparently, it is a good thing now.

Heading to the office with a proof copy of Pejorative as my travel buddy. I have changes, now to see what my BETAs think. Hot as hell and I’m pretty sure the train’s AC gave up on life. Bring on the next heat wave. ☕📖🔥 #AmWriting #Pejorative #BetaReaders

OMG. The Pejorative cover is in. I dare any writer to say they don’t just stare at new cover art like it’s holy. My coffee’s trembling, or maybe that’s just me. Edits still out. Reveal soon. But damn. It’s real. 🔥☕️

Researching Pejorative.

I spent time reading docs on counterinsurgencies. Dry, dense… and dripping with the quiet ways governments erase dissent.

This is the “stuff” people skip. And the stuff that scares me most.

Midway through edits on Pejorative. This one is hitting hard.
I wrote an Alt-History novel and now real headlines sound like my drafts.

Alberta’s premier is talking separation again.

I’m still editing Pejorative, a novel where a 50.26% Alberta vote cracks Canada open.

Feels less like fiction by the day.

learnt from my son yesterday about formal logic's 'affirming the consequent' #pejorative

A #pejorative word, phrase, slur, or derogatory term was a word or grammatical form expressing a negative or disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect toward someone or something. It was also used to express criticism, hostility, or disregard.

The Prof kept talking. “I don’t want to be #pejorative about what we’ve seen from our windows & TV, but it looks pretty bad out there. Which is saying a lot from a group of hospice patients.”

I wasn’t sure how to answer but my brother jumped in, “Oh yeah, it’s fucked.”

#gilded cage
entombed rage
#pejorative stare
at those who live spare

Until a gold digger
opened the door
led on onto the floor
hyenas bigger
hunting for more
gnawing honesty
crushing integrity
shredding loyalty

Twisted by a grifter

At a campsite, Lark shared tea with a nun on pilgrimage. "So, are you a roadwife?" she asked.
Lark only knew the term as a somewhat less #pejorative way to say whore.
"No!" she said, offended.
Sister Peony laughed, "I was, before. That's why I still love to travel."

> Listen, buddy, just because it's got a 'j' in it and you don't know how to pronounce the word, doesn't mean the 'j' sounds like an 'h'. It's #pejorative --- "jor" as in Jor-El.

"What did you say #pejorative means again?"

"Hm... Derogatory, more or less."

"Ah. Er... I think we should warn the ambassador not to use my last translation, then."

It’s certainly your prerogative to perjure your characterisation of my client with #pejorative epithets but please consider your perilous position as the people’s patriarch, Prime Minister. I propose you plan your subsequent statements with precision and propriety. #vss365

"Vermithrax #Pejorative was killed-by a wizard or his apprentice or something? That was the last dragon."
"So you've heard the stories of the Dragonslayer and even how the young dragons were killed, but who ever told you that was her only clutch?”
"..."
"Come. We've got a dragon to find."

I always liked that song called My #Pejorative, or something like that.
It was called My Prerogative, which has a completely different meaning.
Do you recall who sang it?
Not at the moment. Have to look it up on YouTube.
Okay. It’s my earworm today. It bugs me I can’t recall who sang it.

“There are three levels of worshippers,” the over-deity said to the assembled godlings. “Cult, religion, and #pejorative.”

“Pejorative?” a quasi-deity of war said.

The over-deity chuckled. “When they start using your name to insult each other, you’ve hit the bigtime.”

"It's my #pejorative!"
"Don't you mean perogative?"
"That's your hill to die on?"
"Gentlemen, please!"
"What about the ladies?"
"You know what I meant."

It was always fun when Doug double-booked the Pedants Anonymous and Mansplaining Sufferers support groups in the village hall.

“It’s the new Ford #Pejorative!” the TV commercial screamed. “Pedestrians will curse your name as you drive by in this coal powered apocalypse! But who cares when you can’t even see them?”

* Vroom! Thunk! *

“What was that bump? Someone else’s problem! Buy now before it’s banned!”

He was a learned boy. Or at least became adept at playing one. You wanted to be on, to win his good side. Or at least I did. I saw how he slayed the other timid ones. He was a sharp tongued quick witted mean young man. Unfortunately, quite handsome as well. A #pejorative old geezer. Lonely.🪶

i worry sometimes
about the other me
how her freedom
her fearless expression
might be #pejorative
and how others might perceive her

she's (i'm) going through some stuff

this is how she heals

Nan & Spike were having what they always called ‘a discussion’ about the new lady next door.

‘Yes, Jo-Jo. I realise she said what she said but what you said was inflammatory & #pejorative.’

‘And that’s my prerogative.’

‘How come?’

‘I’m older.’

Grown ups were odd.

The #pejorative fanged face in the door stared back at her. Like a statue, it didn't blink or move. Its red eyes shifted, taking in every inch of the room.
"I can make you a deal," it said with a grin. Then two mismatching wings attached to its thin body stepped out of the dark.
