I don't know about a "litmus test", but if I didn't know much about you, and you used that term, I would certainly think less of you than I would if you had not. Who would be impressed with someone using it? Perhaps it is popular within a peer group, but again, you can't count on it not being offensive.
Actually, I imagine most 18 - 24 year olds who use it don't think what it implies or suggests. But I think they should.
