Ha ha! I remember that episode. "Angel" actually expanded my vocabulary a good bit. (Although I'm not sure if that's a good thing.)

I use it all the time and people look at me and say "Wha?" I just laugh.

ANGEL: Hey guys. (He looks up) Oz.
OZ: Hey.
ANGEL: Nice surprise.
OZ: Thanks.
ANGEL: Staying long?
OZ: Few days.
DOYLE: Are they always like this?
OZ: No, we're usually laconic.

Think Joss likes that word or something? :D
