go figure...
I use both, but only informally... "sarcastically" isn't really the right term here, and I recognize this may sound weird, but within my closest group of friends (95% American, 1 Canadian, 1 Aussie, all 30-35 y/o), we regularly use words incorrectly for fun. "To adult"/"adulting" is the easiest example to cite, though it's pretty widely used online ("I really need to adult today", "I have successfully adulted and I'm ready to go out now"). We also use "old" as a noun to mean "an old soul", mostly lovingly. "Where shall we dine?" is a text I've sent them a thousand times, though it sounds unnecessarily pretentious and odd to me (again, for fun). It may also be that we're just really strange...
