    I have. And yeah, it's usually from kids. You know how they love to shorten things to make them sound cool.

    Texas is a big state. I ain't ever heard "verse" used in my part of the state either.

    I've heard it. I hate it. I'm glad you said something.

    a radio guy here used to say verse and it drove me nuts. I've never said verse.

    My friend used "verse" in a moot court competition last year and one of the professor/judges blasted him for it. No one really likes her, though.

    It's not just kids. They hear it from TV talking heads all the time. It drives me nuts. There is one guy on Fox Soccer Channel that always says "verse" -- and he's not even British.
