I was referencing word association and negative connotations that people build out of their own volition, not by some empirical or intrinsic discovery of a word in a language.

no such thing. the domain of language is exclusively subjective. a word means precisely what a person's interpretation of that word is. if most people conjure up images of burning jews and gas chambers when you say "holocaust," then that's what the word means. i'm not going to embarrass you by responding to the rest of your post, especially the last part.
