In English, the correct meaning of words is always optional. The language is fluid, literally anything can be a euphemism; idk if that's also the case in other languages but it regularly trips up even native speakers.

Even so, even with that much flexibility built into the language, this is still just malignant, cynical, toxic lying of the worst sort.
