NPR and Slang

Yesterday Nina Totenberg used the word dissed. She used it in regard to bi-partisanship in the coming 4 years: "I think the Democrats will be willing to work with Republicans unless they [the Democrats] feel like they are being dissed."

I'm paraphrasing there, but she did use the worded dissed in reference to the legislative branch. I'm not sure dissed should be used outside of K-12 education and Best Buy.
