"She shouted a nasty invective down on the person who previously answered the questions, saying, 'The example above is terrible, as it identifies the word as a noun, but then uses it as an adjective. That person is obviously an idiot who shouldn't be answering questions!'"
Invective is harsh, critical, and insulting speech. An example of invective used in a sentence is: When I lost the key to the front door, my boss shouted invectives at me as I tried to apologize.
