Me neither, but it's a perfectly cromulent construction.

If you use it, then it is a word. If other people don't understand you, then that's your problem.

In English, which lacks the sort of central control that, say, French has, if people use it, it's a word. It's just a word that isn't commonly used in some dialects.
