The OP was saying that it had multiple slang meanings, not that that was what it was. MANY words have slang meanings, and frankly they're only offensive if you're looking to be offended over something. This is why context in language is very important, as it tells the difference between something genuinely offensive and something innocent. BFS used Slag in a context that was blatantly obvious that they meant something to do with smelting. Just ridiculous that there was even drama in the first place over the name. I showed some of the comments to a few of my friends that live in the UK and they were amused that people were even offended, because they understood what BFS meant.
