Default Is "teacup" really a bad word if used correctly?

Well ive been cruising breeders. And i found a really good one, under no circumstances does she advertise her dogs as "teacups" but in a litter she had a very accidently small puppy. Well she did say that she would only be going to a very good home, and that special care will be needed ect.. but towards the end she said "this dog is what some might call a "TEACUP" she will grow to be very very small and fragile"

Now. i know that "teacup" is bad. but in this case, since she said "what some might call" is it really a bad thing? I dont want to give names, or websites, i really dont wanna frame or point any fingers but just wanted to see if it was an O.K term to use very rarely.

ps: i chose not to get my pup from this breeder (her price was above my range) but i was just curious about the teacup word. Im not looking for a "teacup" since i do have another dog and i think i slightly bigger size would be better for my lifestyle but for those looking for a tiny tiny dog would finding the word "teacup" used in a careful way be such a bad thing?

.. i meen isnt just saying that the dog could fit in a cup?
which is really kinda wrong when u think about it.. teacups are REALLY small, no dog could fit in there lol
