Oh my, #Wiktionarian bait!

Using words with mutually understood senses/definitions to successfully communicate is a neutral positive: it has no value judgment.

Assigning a value judgment to the choice of words/phrases used to successfully communicate is no longer about communication.

E.g. "Throw the cows over the fence some hay, ja?" Normal English in the Scandinavian-influenced region I grew up in, but also a mean-spirited discrimination joke in the city school.
