Nope. I've seen it on Black Twitter 
(https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/03/opinion/the-real-twitter-is-not-for-sale.html) 
for a number of years with the meaning (inferred from context) "acting 
or behaving under the influence of unexamined white privilege". That it 
rhymes with "audacity" is a bonus.
