The term is usually used in a lighthearted joking way but not taken that way. Probably the term I have seen draw the most ire from old time Pentecostals who believe it is said with hate, bitterness, etc, etc ad nauseam.
The conservative counter part most often used is probably the term "greasy grace" where conservative pentecostals infer that those without the legalistic standards and who do not believe in the 3 step salvation plan "let anything go" or "believe one can do anything and live without any rules or regulations and be saved". Of course this does not in any way actually reflect the vast majority of liberals theology but it makes conservatives feel better and I just think it is funny.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
