The term is used for Theravada, Kris.

I know it gets used that way Aloka-D, but it's incorrect on all counts, even from a Mahayana POV. Hinayana were the two 'lower' schools, within the tenets system and never referred to anything else.

The use of this term for the Theravadan school is ignorant and pejorative.
