As in, "You're a joke!"? Well, it's not a compliment, but obscene... An obscene word is typically one that one shouldn't utter in polite company, in any construction. "Joke" would not qualify. You might say, "I heard a joke" without giving offense. A sentence, however, is more complex that a single word, and it's all too easy to say hurtful things with ordinary words.
