Some of them do, yes. Tone policing has always been around as well, just surprises me to happen in an online forum about "vulgarities".

  I apologize if it came off as tone policing. "Raw dog" sounds innocuous, if a bit strange. There was a radio station that had an internet stream out of Topeka Kansas called "Raw Dog Radio" that was a comedy station/stream; as an example - but it was a direct reference to the sexual connotation. For people who don't know, and notice that "raw dogging" is entering zeitgeist, maybe they'll say it because it sounds silly. It was merely a warning about what it means. The "definition shift" really isn't, people are comparing taking a flight without water, cellphones, etc to sex without a condom (Doesn't matter, flew through the air at hundreds of miles per hour, don't care!) The person i replied to was comparing using an LLM without RAG to risky sex. I'd also avoid saying "So. How are we going to fuck this pig?" in a meeting about infra problems.
