Thank you for your comment. I think it has been for a while among many people. You can use that.

I think that is an interesting saying, Mr. Mana! I have never heard of that one before, so I thank you for letting us all know! Is it a fairly recent slang word used among the high school crowd and young adults or has it been around for awhile? Thank you again for sharing. Please have a wonderful day.
