Yep - you can see the attempts with the way once common words/phrases have been deemed to mean something totally else and also be criminally offensive...

There was a rather famous case about that some years back in Washington, DC. I white management person in the DC government referred to a small budget allocation for poor people as “niggardly”. Some people took offence believing he had used the N word. He lost his job and even the loud protests on his behalf by people who actually understood the word he used did NOT save his job.
