Yes. We do this in Australia, around the bars and pubs getting a root with only a cigarette lighter is a classic move.

I had an australian colleague who found it endlessly funny that we pronounced "router" as "rooter" instead of their "rowter". statements like "If that happens the system will root the packets via the rooter first" was met with much giggling

I feel like getting root privileges means something else in Australia.
