I use the word to mean vaguely 'used in spoken rather than written English'; 'usually avoided in formal English'; 'used in informal situations'; etc.

Hi teacher,

You are one of the persons that gave the answers the most correct. Besides, you're the person of very few words but effective.

Many thanks for your answers.

I'm always looking to your other answers.
