“Tel” as a pejorative indefinite adjective

No, "tel" isn’t pejorative. But it can be used to emphasize something, good or bad. For example :

Je me rappelle de cet achat, c’était une telle arnaque !

I remember that purchase, it was such a scam !

Maybe was it about the adjective phrase tel ou tel :

Il est rentré chez lui hier soir avec telle ou telle fille.

In that case, telle ou telle fille is not explicitly pejorative but means it doesn’t matter which girl it was precisely.

Pour garder le sens péjoratif, on pourrait écrire :

-Il est rentré chez lui hier soir avec une fille quelconque.

Cf le sens 3. de quelconque ici.
