Is the M-Word starting to be used outside of the internet?

I'm not going to use the actual word because a mod told me that my post will get removed for using the actual word because of policy. But the M-Word I'm talking about is the insult for short men that ends with "let".

I'm a senior in high school, and throughout middle school and 9-11 grade, I only heard the M-Word on the internet, but when I started 12th grade I'm hearing the word being used in real life.

Before I have heard other insults for short guys, but never the M-Word. But lately I've heard the M-Word in the school gym, some bullies called me that word. I even heard a girl in my class use the word when she was telling her friends about a guy she had problems with.

Since I just started school on august, I heard the word M-Word in a total of 6 times.

I'm a bit worried that as time goes on the M-Word will become normalized and used outside of the internet. Sorta like I never heard the word Incel in person only on the internet, but now people are using Incel as an insult in real life.

In your experience, have you ever heard the M-Word outside of the internet? Do you think eventually it will become a normal and frequent word people use?
