1. atrocious: very poor or terrible conditions

Atrocious refers to something of very poor quality, unpleasant, or in very poor or terrible conditions, for example when it's snowing and windy, we can define the weather as atrocious, and when someone's accent is very bad, we can also qualify it as atrocious.

2. exculpatory: a statement or evidence that would prove a person's innocence

This term comes from the medieval Latin word “exculpate” which means “freed from blame.” In law, exculpatory refers to the statement or evidence showing that a person is not guilty of wrongdoing, in other words, that he or she is innocent.

3. inculpatory: a statement that incriminates another person

This term is an antonym of exculpatory and refers to the evidence or statement that accuse or blame someone of committing a crime or wrongdoing.

4. miscegenation: marriage between people of different races

Miscegenation is another word for “interracial marriage.”

5. provocation: the act of deliberately making a person angry

Provocation refers to any deliberate talk or act that make someone angry or that incite someone to do something, usually something violent or illegal.
