Here’s an example from me

If you want to de-normalize a nation’s state/government, call them

a regime


Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin

Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize dysphemism are insults?

      I tell my friends that Asperger’s is a super power and that the word, “normies” is an insult.

        I’ve aways assumed “normie” was an insult. But I might be over sensitive to such things, becaise “cis” also sounds like an insult to me.

          A lesbian friend was the first person to call me cis. I had no idea what it meant. Now that I understand I have embraced the term to make clear how I see myself. I am a cis male.
