I also do in technical discussions with mixed company, however I would use a joke like that in a private chat with my friends after a few drinks.
(and I use this example specifically because it's a common movie reference which I have heard multiple times in my professional life from a quite diverse set of people)
The big problem with current platforms is that flagging of something like that in a personal context can still lead to a platform-wide activity block.
