I know it's used in Australia ... some Aussies at the Baltimore Conference I go to remarked that they'd made friends with a fellow who was "sleeping rough" by the hotel (in February, mind you, which means it was really rough) ... and they gave him a $20. The 'Merkin's then explained as how that's not a good idea.
