OK. I think it should be tagged as obscure, though.

Certainly not common and I think it's mainly a transcription of the AmE term, but still around enough to be worth recording. At present it just matched (partially) on セルフ, which is not much use.

Was this ever used in Japanese? It's not in any of my refs.
