I should have consulted with the authority on derogatory terms before posting such a thoughtless comment. Thank you for the correction, lord derogator :) But, again, I wasn't saying it actually is a derogatory word, it just has the harsh sound of one. Maybe it's just because it sort of rhymes with the derogatoriest word of all.
