Progressives...they just know better than us peasants. Thankfully progressives let us know through societal edicts what we're allowed to say and not say.

British people use it a lot. That's why the daily mail used it. That should have been obvious to the dumb asses at teen vogue.
I vaguely remember a british term for a cigarette.
They probably wouldnt like that one either.

I remember a few years ago at Moes, I wanted black beans so I told the girl who was black I wanted Frijoles Negros and she said we don’t call it that and gave me a look. Lol
The poor girl probably has a embarrassingly low command of the English language, and you expect her to have some familiarity with Spanish.

But I don't discount the possibility that she selected her terminology to generate a mini-controversy and draw some attention to herself.
This may come as a shock to you, but Brits use a lot of words in everyday language that we don't use, and vice versa.

Is niggle a real word?
Where does the word niggling come from?
Etymology. First attested in 1599. Origin uncertain, but likely borrowed from Norwegian nigla (“to be stingy”), ultimately from Old Norse hnøggr (“stingy; miserly”), related to Old English hneaw (“stingy; niggardly”).
