I see this all the time. As a matter of fact, I just used it! (But with good reason). After I used it, I realized i was just following a trend, I have no idea WHY it means what it means.
Anybody know how this came about?
A little character named Joey on a little sitcom called Friends.
Joey from Friends
Oh! I know what Friends is, I even know who Joey is. I’ve only seen it half a dozen times, but at least now I know where it came from. Thanks!

:dubious:
After I got the answer, I realized it was GQ or Cafe Society. I thought it was a SDMB thing only, like “I burning your dog” or something like that. Didn’t realize it was from a show.
Wow, you’re pretty good at the sarcasm.
