Context.
I think that the context in which we say something makes all the difference.
For example: The guy who recently was shot at the airport for saying he had a "bomb" could say this at the Hub and we would think he was joking around, but at the airport you never even whisper or jokingly say you have a bomb.
In a crowded theater you don't yell "fire."
In a church you don't say a swear word unless you are reading from the King James Bible and talking about donkeys. :)
Any other words in which the context is everything?

The other problem I had was with an incomplete simile expression "sweet as" - many heard an extra "s" in there and wondered...
