	Clive  +  190587 Sun, 29 Jan 06 10:24 PM Hi guys, These words are all very, very  similar. Best wishes, Clive - to denigrate: to run down somebody, saying to him/her he/she's a bad person, Yes at a lower level where he/she could be to stay. - to blacken: to make something black yes and It may mean, I suppose, to make somebody very upset No. The meaning you are looking for is 'to say bad things about someone so that you damage or 'blacken' or  their name or reputation'. - to disparge:  I think it's like the first one Yes but it can also mean to despise No. To say bad things about a person, or an idea. - to besmirch: I don't really know anything about this word Like 'blacken'. To make something (eg a person's reputation) dirty Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,583 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo
