I think that must be a reginoal language idiom. In all the places I've

time living in the UK. So, perhaps us New York, DC, even Florida East
Coasters, don't use that phrase. Never heard it in NM, either.

How/why did you find that! more importantly - why did someone think this was
worthy of that much research.

Considering the massive amounts of money spent on "research" projects
of, at best, dubious subjects nothing surprises me about this one.
