I find it interesting that "derogation" (my new word for the day) means both:
* the act of officially stating that a law or rule no longer needs to be obeyed,
and
* the act of talking about or treating someone in a way that shows you do not respect him, her, or it,
according to [0]. If the shoe fits, I guess?
