It is not weird, uncommon, or confusing, I was simply unenlightened. Most people do not have that problem, including me now. Wiktionary lists that usage as "proscribed", and according to disctionary.com, Collins English Dictionary describes that usage as "informal", while Random House Dictionary lists it behind 3 other more common and narrower definitions. That seems pretty uncommon and non-standard to me.
