Well, that doesn't make sense.
That you don't intend to insult when using what is nearly always understood to be a insult is crazy.
You thinking that you are "letting them know they screwed up" is dilusional. You fail in your "point" (purpose) because you aren't communicating it: you are using the wrong "words".
If you know it's an insult, then using it with the "point" of not being an insult is wacky.
Please, don't become a diplomat!
