i mean, i guess it doesn't particularly irritate me like when people used to say ish or hella, but it does seem like an awkward grammatical construction that's more trouble than it's worth

Yes, when did this become a thing?

9/21/2012 10:55:24 PM

Never, I have never heard that before.

9/21/2012 10:55:33 PM

9/21/2012 10:57:32 PM

9/21/2012 11:46:01 PM

Same time as everyone started saying "no worries", also Aussie

9/21/2012 11:46:52 PM

All of the Aussies I've worked with say "good on ya."

The origin of the phrase is interesting.

But why have people started saying it recently? Was it in a commercial?

they say good on ya in australia all the time - part of regular speech

9/22/2012 9:14:51 AM

heard it in "finding nemo"

9/22/2012 9:45:06 AM

Yeah no one says that in the American dialect.

But there is a lot of things in American slang that doesn't quite add up either, like "What's up?"
"How goes it?" would be more conceptually accurate, although the grammar behind that is scary haha

My LA agent's assistant said that in an Email last week. Threw me off, too.
