姦しい is an adjective meaing nosy in a lively way...just like when you put 3 women togetehr!

But if you're asking if we actually use that word 'kashimashii' or the kanji in our daily lives here in Japan, then my answer will be no. Only older people (probably over 60) would use it. It's a very nice old word but it's not easy for a 5-syllable word to survive when it doesn't have a more broad meaning.
