@Artemishowl_ @Celestalon It came up during a meeting once when I was at Blizzard. Everyone on my team knew what it meant except me. I'm not one to just nod in agreeance if I don't understand so I spoke up and asked what it meant. I also wasn't born in the states so I'm not familiar with a lot of these.

@honeychild1229 @Artemishowl_ Yeah, Z just asked me what it meant after the second time I used it today. Hadn’t ever stopped to consider that it wasn’t universally understood. Based on the poll, looks like 70/30, but 30 is large enough that it seems like it’d commonly lead to confusion.
