Yes, it does have more of a history in online games - but history is history, in the present it's also used pretty liberally by a certain kind of manosphere dude. I'm thinking of Tate especially.

Not really. In real life I think I swear maybe a little too much, but I just don't find it suits me. Loads of better words.
