@Dionysus English isn't my first language and I saw this word for the first time here on SW. Is it a common word? To me, it sounds like something a "cool teenager" would use. 😛

@CrazyMusicLover Oh no no no I don't think so. More like a middle aged woman in the US.

@CrazyMusicLover Like something something someone's Mom would say to their kids at the dinner table. That's when I hear it.

Exactly. I really don’t like that term. It sounds so childish and stupid, I think. @Dionysus
