> to at least some people in the USA

It is not "at least some" and this isn't something to downplay.

The classic example is 'to smoke a fag'.

You're, with your US perspective, saying 'hey words have meaning you know, don't downplay murdering homosexuals' while millions^ of people smoke fags in the UK every day.

(^probably? Maybe not any more, a lot of fag-smoking relative to murder at any rate.)
