Disphemism

The opposite of euphemism- an unfortunate or unpleasant term used where a much nicer one would easily work. Also- dysphemism.

Ever notice how Clark is prone to disphemism? He calls Clarice 'fat' when 'curvy' would work or how Clark calls Jason a dwarf even though 'short' would be more accurate.
