Your Level of Familiarity: This was the first time that I encountered this word. I think that my lack of familiarity with the word is due to the fact that it's a specialized French word.
Should I Know This Word?: Considering that it's a French word that I will probably not encounter again, I don't think it's a crucial word to know.
Should Others Know This Word? Who and Why? I don't think that others in the US need to know this word unless they are traveling to France. I think that this word is so rarely come across in popular American literature that it isn't a necessary word to know.
