Cacology literally means “evil-speaking,” and is used to refer to a poor choice of words or noticeably bad language.

Likewise, a caconym is an ill-fitting or unpleasant name; a cachotechny is a poorly constructed device or work of art; and a cacotype is either a printing error, or a libelously insulting printed description or account.
