I haven't encountered it in person, but it was used on an episode of the
vampire drama "Angel"; it was put in the mouth of Cordelia Chase, who
was basically a Valley girl. (She had been possessed, or perhaps
corrupted, by a renegade divinity, and was speaking to a monster made
out of rock and devil-like in shape. For whatever that's worth...)
