Basically this means any sexual innuendo, racially slurred comment etc. could be mosconstrued by anyone regardless of intent.
But my personal feeling is the problem is with the individual hearing it, not with the individual saying it. Lighten up. Of course, provided there's nothing intentionally insulting or extremely racist about it.
