If the way you joke around with your friends would sound like real insults to other people, then it shouldn't be done in public chat, where you're likely to offend those other people. Use /tells or a private channel for such things. (Of course, this assumes the offence is blatant enough that the speaker could predict strangers taking offense at it. I don't know if that was the case with whatever the OP saw without knowing what was said.)
