Guilty as charged (actually originally from Manitoba, and I don't recall hearing the phrase there either. For that matter I don't think I heard it around Ottawa in the 80s either, but I did hear it in southern Ontario, so maybe it is even worse than an Ontario thing: maybe it started off as a TORONTO thing *shudder*
