I'm 28, and I've never heard it used in that way by anyone other than my students. It's one of a group of words that they seem to not understand have a mainstream meaning different from their slang usage (retarded, gay, and dance being others).
It's not surprising to me that a court reporter is unaware of a particular slang usage.

Sorry have to disagree there at least in regarding 'youth culture'.
I was hearing that from people my parent's age the entire time I was growing up.
Eh maybe it's a Southern or black thing that has filtered up to other groups. I would ask my Grandmother what she thinks 'ho' means but I'm scared she'd slap me.
