It's okay not to know. English is spoken in a lot of different places in different ways. I doubt that in your 40 years you've explored this.

Google Trends shows that it's most popular in Malaysia and the Philippines, relative to its use in other countries.

That explains it. Nobody in America says that and we outnumber the next three native English speaking countries combined.

India uses English as a lingua franca, they have their own phrases, dialect and everything, and they outnumber the American continent combined.

I'm native to North Carolina and I've heard it before.

But this country has 40 or 50 regional dialects. Probably more.
