My "survey" - here and with a bunch of emails - has enlightened me. It's about 50/50 whether people think of it as derogatory. But that's 50% more than I realized before all of this! Guess that's a word I'll be making sure to use in a well-defined context only with those who would know how I mean it. It is a unique word, and it kind of disturbs me that it has taken on this connotation.
