Weird Word Wednesday- Bespoke

I heard the word bespoke on YouTube recently. I realized that I had no idea what it meant, although I'd heard it a few times.
To me, the word doesn't seem to fit its meaning. However, I do understand the connection to verbally stating a set of specific instructions for a service or product.
I think it feels awkward to use 'bespoke' in a sentence. Maybe that's just because I'm so unfamiliar with it.
On a lighter note, I saw a funny comment about this word (credit: Innoculous.com). "Bespoke- a word so pretentious that it shouldn't be used: 'That word don't bespoke around here.'"
What about you? Is this word familiar to you? Do you ever say it?

I have across with it but I am not using it. I have featured 20 words to live by in my YouTube channel for everyone to improve or build their vocabulary.

I have always thought that one of the strangest words in English. I love that part from innoculus.com.

I like that funny comment. . Even I am unfamiliar with the word and would feel awkward to use it in a sentence. Because though I get the meaning now, I would still not be sure if I am using it at right time and right context.
