Well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonce_word

It makes me sad when a secondary meaning, which does not even overcome the main meaning in usage, becomes an obstacle for the normal use of a word. It's like seeing a rainbow as a sexualized symbol not fit for children, because it also happens to be used by LGBTQ+ community. (BTW, since you're a Brit: did people stop using the word "fag" to refer to a cigarette?)

Yes, words have multiple meanings - but only some words are apparently worthy of censorship - which is my point.

> did people stop using the word "fag" to refer to a cigarette?

Yes, seems so. I've not heard that in at least a decade
