For a restricted audience, yes, but most folks around here would look at
you funny if you said 'gratis'.

I recently watched a popeye cartoon where he muttered something along
the lines of "first time making love in color". That means something
different now than it did when it was made. I think 'gratis' has fallen
out of common usage, though perhaps it is more common in areas with a
greater latin influence.
