No, 'jaywalking' is a derogatory term that is specifically used to cast aspersions on pedestrians crossing the street, especially with reference to places where that's not permitted by law. Crossing the street away from a pedestrian crossing is perfectly lawful in this country.

Please make the point over and over again if your friends talk about 'jaywalking'. It's a very important point and has to be re-explained all the time. We are very lucky that this freedom still exists in this country.
