Okay, here's one for you.

Fag.

Two meanings.

Uk & Ireland - common slang for cigarette

North America - gay man - derogatory (though partially reclaimed)

Same word, but two different things, yes? But they have the same root. Faggot - a bundle of sticks used to start a fire.

For cigarette, that's a easy one - a stick shaped object you burn. For gay men, same thing - something you set on fire when you execute them for sodomy. It's a violent homophobic insult. Yet, in London, if I ask someone to light my fag, I'm not suggesting they set fire to my gay friend - I just want to borrow their lighter. Should we stop using fag to mean cigarette because it has the same root as a horrible homophobic insult? Or is cunt still super-speshul in that regard?

In this case this slur came from an actual word. Not people trying to justify using using a sexist slur as a generic slur because magic intent.

contrary to popular internet belief, intent and context do matter. Just because SJWs are too obtuse and doctrinaire to know the difference between hate-speech and affectionate mockery doesn't mean the rest of us don't.
