Comments:

Still commonly used.  This phrase was popularized by the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" where the character Barney Stinson uses this phrase after telling an obviously fake story that usually involves himself or historical figures that are morphed into a "Bro" version.  For example, he tells a story about "Saint Desperacius" to justify his "Desperation Day" that is the day before Valentine’s Day. (Tim Moriarty, S-Z Group, 2012)
