Thank you. Do you think I can safely incorporate it into my daily vocabulary, or would you recommend that I stay away from this word?

This word (but not its meaning - I'm a native English speaker in the US and I had to look up the meaning) is well-known in the US because of the famous Elvis movie by the same name. However, outside of the movie, it is almost never heard today. This is not a word that you would use in everyday speech or writing.
