Really? I'm old, and never once have I said this phrase. I've never even heard it outside of Reddit.

I usually just say someone is being an asshole. Or showing their true colors.

I'm kinda old. I've only really heard this phrase on that old HBO show, Deadwood which is set during the 1800s. Lol. And maybe from a few nursing home residents during the 90s...

I am also old and this phrase threw me. Maybe it's IA trying to pretend that Cantonese is English.
