An EU Friend of mine that has English as one of their 2 second languages used it in front of me very recently, I was shocked but to them it was just an everyday word with no story or context behind the meaning.
The crux of it can be that English and International English are two very different things even if as a native English speaker you think English is English. In a room full of foreigners speaking English it is probably the native English speaker that is least understood.
