inword

A word that has acceptable usages within an ingroup, but is typically inappropriate, derogatory, and/or discriminatory if used by people outside of that group.

Such words can be used in a harmless sense among friends and allies as long as all are in agreement that it is causing no harm.

The regard for these boundaries is very hit-or-miss. Some people are consistently respectful, whereas others might use such words without thinking or caring.
