So that's where that comes from!!! My SO says that all the time, and I noticed that his dad says it too--he must get it from his mom (SO's grandma), who's from back there.

My mom has all kinds of odd colloquialisms. I use them on a regular basis, as kids I babysit think they're funny. I'll have to give some more thought to what precisely they are, as I've just barely had my coffee and my brain isn't fully functioning yet.
