I agree with Darrell.
I think people tend to overlook that this is an International community, and the use of vernacular language expressions is often not a good idea.
The same words can have quite a different localised meaning for people with different native languages and a varying skill level in English.
What may be light hearted and a joke to some, is an insult & downright rude to others, or even interpreted as "being crazy".
Use plain English, as best you can of course, and allow that others may not understand you due to language difficulties & interpretation.
