Just not workable.
Oh, please. If I call someone "a fucking faggot" it's pretty clear I don't mean "bundle of sticks." Just like if I say "your Honor, can I have some pussy" I can't later pretend I was asking to pet her cat.

As a practical matter, one can tell the meaning from the context, pretty reliably.
