No.  If you say that, then you have a reason for national authorities
to insist that ICANN impose rules on domain name registrations
everywhere because some "word" in the DNS is offensive to someone.
The DNS isn't made up of words and DNS labels do not have meaning,
because they are not in a language.  This is why talking about the use
of a domain name in a natural language, rather than its meaning, is
the distinction we need to make.

Best regards,
