• Execrable: Extremely bad or unpleasant.
• I could go on, but truly the quality of England's moving and passing was execrable.(Simon Critchley)
• Scurrilous: Making or spreading scandalous claims about someone with the intention of damaging their reputation. 
• It was rather amusing to read last week that Bild, the scurrilous but very widely-read German tabloid newspaper, even offered to recognize the legitimacy of that goal if the English decided to stay in EU. (Simon Critchley) 
• Minutiae: The small, precise or trivial details of something.
• There may have been better chroniclers who evoked the hellish minutiae of the German death machine. (Joseph Berger)
