It's an old word but then ours is an old country and most words are very old. It was a perfectly normal word when I was a kid in the 60s but I rarely hear it used now. When I do hear it now, it is mostly used by people older than at least 70. I'm sure even today's teenagers know what it means but it would certainly not be in their active vocabulary.
