Is this icon offensive? If I'd made it myself, I would have used a different word, just to be safe. (The icon maker is Russian, so it may not have translated to English quite as they intended.) When in doubt, I don't use it in comms where I think it might offend (which is most of them). But now I wonder if I should use it at all.

Edited to add: Thanks to all of you for your honest and thoughtful responses. Not only here, but in all our communications on LJ. My therapist sometimes tries to tell me that my friends here are somehow less "real" than those in "real life." She's wrong, of course. It's a different kind of relationship, but no less real -- and that's what matters to me.
