It’s in the vernacular now. You only notice it because you’re older than the term. For a Zoomer or younger Millennial, it won’t stand out so much.

I'm an older millennial who generally dislikes new words like that but this is the one that I fully accept. It's just a good word, you don't need any prior knowledge the understand it either, it just works.
