Yep. The only people I know that use that term today as a descriptor and not an epithet are conservative Jewish families who are typically rich. To put it in your reddit dot com user name is literally just signaling privilege among what is a essentially just a pool of NYC/Westchester County/Fairfield County Jews that understands it.
I remember going to Seder with my ex and her secular family. They were having relatives from New York come visit and I was warned in advance about "the jay aye pee cousins" that would be coming and thought, "wow that sounds offensively judgemental. This should be interesting."
Then they arrived and it was like poorly written characters from a TV show had materialised in the dining room complaining about service on the private jet over and how gross our country was. Highly entertaining.
