(reference) Unfortunately I don't have on hand references for this word. It might be because it is mostly used in common speach.
(comment) This word seems to be deriving from a foreign term and is pronounced castella or castela (most likely the latter since the sound is short). I wish to see more lively Japanese words in the dictionnary and wish to cooperate whenever possible.

(reference) 15.000+ hits in google, usually used as a question like "タメ語でもいいですか?" if someone feels the mood is too cold.
(comment) I was quite surprised how little google hits it gets, when I've read that in personal e-mails lots of times. It seems to me to be quite a common word, though.
