Art/Literary - Psychology / human behavior description, I guess
English term or phrase: disparaging (remarks)
So, what's a good word for "disparaging"?

Example:

"Your momma made some disparaging remarks to our daddy, in front of all us, about my momma...and now, my momma is gonna kick your momma's butt from here to Tamaulipas!!!"

Please help. Thank you!!
