It's quite apt reading this so soon after your aspergers post that talked about intention.
At no point would I intend any use of those terms to be homophobic, in the same way that saying "fuck" isn't supposed to associate an event with sex (especially since I'll usually shout the f-word out when I've hurt myself) ;)
Yeah, I've always associated it with being "a bit crap", or as others have said "a bum deal".
Insults rarely make much sense, to read into something which is simply an exclamation really doesn't work out. If I was to shout out "HRRRFFFFRRR" when I was angry then I'm sure someone could find meaning in there.
Hmm, that's a good question. If you did use the term "Jew" in that way, then it'd theoretically match with the first point on your list (Gay).
That said, it does seem like a slightly redundant term to use here. Saying it feels a bit like saying "fanny". For me the term lacks any associated meaning other than the original. Whereas bummer or bugger can hold two meanings depending on the context.
Dang, see what happens when you try to work things out ;)

"The third Matrix film was completely Jewish."
"I was totally jewed by the election results in Norwich."
would that seem to be lacking in meaning too?
