    Yeah, it's just the context. Every word in the dictionary has multiple different meanings depending on the context and any decent dictionary gives at least a few examples of it's use in specific contexts. Also, what one person might consider negative another might consider positive.

    Not really. It can mean "funny" or "stupid".
