I think all the people on this forum learning English are pretty smart. They can understand nuance, we should be obligated to give them a heads-up if the vocabulary word is low tone, high tone, vulgar, obscure, inventive, whimsical, etc. Like you I love language, and understand how elastic it could be, and I would encourage anyone, even a creative learner, to play around with it. We don't want them to sound like English versions of Cantínflas (unless they want to), or they might return the favor.
