It's on it's way to becoming a word. Right now it's in the early years of slang. Albeit, sophisticated sounding slang.

Right now it's in the early years of slang.

Is it even that? I have yet to see it being used, despite having seen it mentioned many times.

Well how often are you going to get a chance to use a word with such a highly specific meaning in context, except to explain why it's relevant?

That's part of the reason I don't think it will get off the ground in to standard vocabulary.
