You would have assumed so, but a lot of kids are pretty much raised on the internet so it would not surprise me that there are a lot of people out there who do not, and I've seen it used where a joke clearly wasn't intended, I also think it's been repeated so much that some who know better have in internalized it so much they use it without realizing
