1933 John o' London's Weekly 7 Oct. Professor Carnoy, the distinguished French philologist, has coined the word ‘dysphemism’ as a set-off to ‘euphemism’, to which it is directly opposed... ‘It consists, above all, in the substitution for dignified or simply normal terms, of expressions borrowed from spheres more vulgar, familiar, and joyous.’

1940 E. Partridge in S.P.E. Tract (Soc. for Pure Eng.) No. LV. 181 A minor species of dysphemism is the pejorative suffix, as in ‘robustious’.
