If you call a cat walking by a hamster, and then, while sitting with a friend, say: "That f***ing hamster shat in my slipper," the meaning won't change; it remains a cat, no matter what you call it. And if you then, while sitting on a tram, say to an old lady: "That hamster shat in my boot again," she's unlikely to think of it as anything other than a hamster. Therefore, when there's an initial context, the meaning won't change, no matter what you call it.
