  Not really, as even though it's a fictional world, it harkens to a time when the word was common. Outside of fiction, I had never heard the word used until recent years, when it's become en vogue to use the term in political "discourse", a use I do despise.

    Why do you think it came into the collective vocabulary recently? ASoIaF basically reintroduced it.
