It occurred to me that the old word "dapper" is hardly encountered anymore. Did anybody find it in recent use?

Oddly, I hear it used in speech yesterday, referring to "an extremely short lawyer, dapper and bald-headed, always wearing a trademark bow tie." The reference was not complimentary.

(It was present once in the whole AWAD forum, and then only in a quoted poem).

Indeed, even that prior AWAD reference uses dapper in a different sense. It referred to Santa Claus and meant (per bartleby) "lively and alert".

.....His smile was so dapper, his bright eyes so gleaming.
.....And was that a joint in his hand? Or me dreaming?
.....But when I caught on to the look in his eye
.....I knew it was Santa himself, flying high.
