"Commonly used" is, to be sure, an exaggeration.  No newspaper in
the US, Canada, the UK or Australia that I read (and I read papers
from all three and elsewhere regularly) has used the term at all to
my recollection.

"If a man demands justice, not merely as an abstract concept,
but in setting up the life of a society, and if he holds, further,
that within that society (however defined) all men have equal rights,
then the odds are that his views, sooner rather than later, are going
to set something or someone on fire." Peter Green, in _From Alexander
to Actium_, on Spartan king Cleomenes III
