I’ve never heard anybody say that, but then I don’t use English in daily life.

[This old thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/backing-into-parking-spaces/607299/57) shows that some people hate it when someone else backs into a parking spot, so presumably one of those people came up with the derogatory “granny” term.
