It's fine, unless you are trying to use it in some odd way. Can you show us a sentence?

In what sense? The word has several meanings.

Coasting as opposed to actually making an effort. Eg. coasting through life.
Anyway, I've decided not to use it, because the readers aren't native English speakers, so they might not understand the meaning.

So I won't bother answering. In future, please think a bit before posting, so that you don't waste our time here.

Why would whether or not I ended up using it make a difference anyway? Somebody else might be able to benefit from the answer.
