no, its not common at all and I have had people ask me what it means...
I pride myself in my vocabulary language...
although im a doofus on ocassion i know and use lengthy or original words rather than bastardized american...
In school i wasnt a bad kid but I was a heathen at times...during the 6th grade I had a meeting ... teacher and mother... I wasnt there actually... but ... needless to say I was a handful and my mother was called in... nothing drastic... I was never kicked out of school or even expelled... I dont even think suspended... but ... more of a class clown...
anyway
all my mother remembers from the meeting is the teacher telling her that I had a higher vocabulary language than she did and I used it... and it intimidated her...
that was the early stages of me reading and learning lots of words...
i found that amusing... So did my mother...
