The definition of connotations is that which is implied by a word in addition to its literal or primary meaning. Connotation is the feeling a certain word or phrase makes us feel suddenly. It can also mean the negative or positive feeling society places on some words especially slang.
A word or phrase that has a negative or disliked association connected to it, most commonly due to social use or misconceptions of a word or it's meaning.
In English (and in many other languages), word have a dictionary meaning (which is called the "denotation) and a cultural meaning (or "connotation"). The denotation is neutral and just defines what the word means or how it is used in a grammatically correct sentence. But the connotation reflects whether the word makes people think of something positive or whether it is associated with something negative. For example, take the word "fat"-- the dictionary say it means overweight. But in a culture that values being thin, the word "fat" has a very negative connotation. Or take the word "Communist"-- the dictionary basically defines it as a political philosophy, or it refers to a person who believes in this philosophy. But in the United States, it has a very negative connotation, and is associated with being opposed to capitalism or being an anti-American radical. Thus, in trying to use "negative connotation" in a sentence, you would offer a word that is perceived as a bad thing by the culture, and explain why it is perceived this way.
