Sometimes "folklore" is religious in nature, like the tales of the Welsh Mabinogion or those found in Icelandic skaldic poetry. Many of the tales in the Golden Legend of Jacob de Voragine also embody folklore elements in a Christian context, as well as the tales of Old Mr. Brennan. Examples of such Christian mythology are the themes woven round Saint George or Saint Christopher. In this case, the term "folklore" is being used in a pejorative sense. That is, while the tales of Odin the Wanderer have a religious value to the Norse who composed the stories, because it does not fit into a Christian configuration it is not considered "religious" by Christians who may instead refer to it as "folklore."

During the 17th and 18th century when slavery existed in the United States, house slaves were slaves who worked and often lived in the house of the slave-owner. They usually lived more comfortably than field slaves. A pejorative term house Negro/house Nigger was sometimes used in reference to the black slaves instead. The term comes from Malcolm X’s speech "Message to the Grass Roots" (1963). Massa refers to the colloquial black English pronunciation of master, used by black slaves when addressing the masters of the house they worked in. The earlier version of nigger was neger (in Scottish and northern England dialect), coming from French nègre and from Spanish negro

Inuit were earlier known by Europeans as "Eskimos" - a pejorative roughly meaning "eaters of raw meat". They are one of the original groups to inhabit the northern regions of Canada populating small, scattered communities and villages throughout the Arctic from Alaska to eastern Greenland. In 2006 Statistics Canada estimated that 50 485 people, about 4% of the aboriginal population, identified themselves as Inuit . Almost half of the Inuit population in Canada lived in Nunavut (49%), 19% in Quebec, 6% in the Northwest Territories, and 4% in Labrador
drifter label connotes a social deviancy undertaken by ‘dropouts’ from affluent societies (O’Reilly, 2006). Although Vogt’s (1976) ‘wanderer’ and Riley’s (1988) ‘international long- term budget travellers’ represent similar attempts to cast a terminological net around this type of tourist, it is the drifter concept that inspires ‘one of the prevalent trends of contemporary tourism’ (Cohen, 1973, p. 90), backpacker tourism. The succinct and less pejorative epithet ‘backpacker’ gained momentum from the late 1990s (O’Reilly, 2006) as a descriptor for predominantly young, budget tourists on extended holiday (Loker-Murphy & Pearce, 1995). More recently, Maoz and Bekerman (2010, p. 426) describe backpackers as ‘relatively young tourists who tend to gather in ghettos or enclaves: places where large numbers congregate to experience home comforts and the company of tourists of similar interests
