And actually... I'm gonna call b.s. on your statement "they mean what the author intended". That's simply not correct.

The point of communication is to get information from the speaker/author to the listener/ reader. Both parties are under a reasonable expectation that the words they use have a common meaning. You may have personally decided that the term "kike" means "attractive and intelligent man with an enormous p3nis" but Frank may not take it that way.

And the idea that the author is the sole arbiter is laughable. You can use whatever term you want wherever. But you have to learn to two personal responsibility for the words you use. People will always judge you based on the terms you choose to use. To think you can exempt yourself from that judgement simply because you "mean something different " when you use terms specifically chosen for their connotations (see my post above, there are other existing terms one could have chosen)... that's weak and screams of a lack of personal responsibility and maturity.

Cheesehead is a nickname in the United States for a person from Wisconsin.

So I guess the above means you are good with being called a cheese head?
