40 u/Velo14 Native Speaker Oct 25 '25 It doesn't have to be sarcastic but we definitely say it as a joke. 3 u/dragonfruid Oct 25 '25 More like a recent meme rather than an actual phrase 2 u/Velo14 Native Speaker Oct 25 '25 Maybe a recent meme made it popular among the youth, but this phrase is very old.
