I have lived all over in the USA: North, South, East, West, and many places in between. Not once have I heard that saying and, believe me, I have heard a lot of them over the years. I guess I can add this to my collection of odd phrases.

I can’t believe all these people who say they’ve never heard of it!!! I’ve known this expression all my life (well, since I was about 9 or 10).
