- mdp2021 5y agoI see, but if you take a term like 'bunny'* and then for some reason it becomes - I don't know - a sensational sexual innuendo in south Boston or the whole of the continent, it is not a fault of 'bunny', and one cannot expect that others in Anywheristan start having problems with 'bunny' out of somebody's folly. * the first term I could think of, probably as I am writing from a field having plenty of them nearby.

After a while, if even 10% of people use it to actively mean something sexual, the majority of people will know that it's meant to indicate something sexual. You've reinvented dialects.
