I 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.

well that's the funny thing about language - it's very democratized in some ways. 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.
Meanwhile, here in the good ol' USA, we might have mucked up that elegant latin lesson a little bit [0]
