I listened to an off the cuff lunch speech given by a political scientist where he used the term final solution five times with regards to an inter generational issue of poverty entrapment of a particular tribal group . The context he was using the word was meant to convey urgency and frustration at the lack of progress . After the Lunch I asked him if he thought anyone else heard him use the term “ Final Solution “ he was shocked that he had used it in an innocent way not in the extremist way it can be used . If the press at the chamber of commerce had of been listening it might have ended his political career . It was never mentioned again . Just remember it is often not what we say , but how is heard . Be careful using some words as sometimes unintentional harm can be done where no insult or injury was meant . Some folks hear what they want to hear and feign offence as used in cry bullying tactics .
The beauty of the English language is that it does allow for explicit expression of offence and those nuanced misunderstandings can quickly be remedied by the correct invective expletives.
