Swift words:

Invective. Speech or writing that abuses, denounces, or attacks.
It can be directed against a person, cause, idea, or system. It
employs a heavy use of negative emotive language. Example:

"I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most
pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered
to crawl upon the surface of the earth." --Swift
