Can the label "pejorative" be used for something that is not a person or animal? Ritalin is hardly likely to feel offended at being called vitamin R.

- Right, jocular instead of pejorative. —Stephen 15:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Of course, the person taking Ritalin (especially for true ADHD) could be very offended by the jocular use of "vitamin R", but I don't think that even merits mention in a usage note. The "jocular" tag includes usage in bad or insulting jokes. DCDuring TALK 16:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
