Vituperative

Filed Under V 

When “spiteful” and “abusive” just aren’t strong enough, good old vituperative comes in to save the day. The concept of “vitumen” just always seemed scarier, meaner, and more foriegn than so many similar, kinder words — like “venom” and “vitriol.” It has also always been in my experience one of the most obscure negative words, and thus it holds an especially warm place in my personal lexicon.
