Hi
In English, we tend to get by with short words most of the time, but you can you certainly use pejorative and apoplectic if you feel strongly about something. 'She went all apoplectic' is a good way to say that someone's gone a bit mad. If you are offended by someone because they have said something untrue about you then, yes, that's pejorative
