For many others, the OP's use is common and correct—in a lot of areas.

"They ripped me off" is very prevalent in English speaking countries too, outside of tech.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well, from "ripped me off", implying stealing or something negative.

Having the (almost) same API surface as another MIT library is hardly a "ripoff" but a re-implementation.
