My grandpa used to use this phrase all the time and it was clearly synonymous with "mighty kind of you". So naturally I adopted the term and use it regularly but recently a retard asked what it meant and so they looked it up.
This is an interesting firsthand experience of something I know to be true in my lifetime erased and replaced by a bunch of fiction.
I'm not too old (36) so for this phrase to be used positively in my lifetime and in my memory indicates it wasn't "last used in the 1910's".
Anyway, after learning about the fake history being written about this phrase I've 10x my usage of it.
She would use it if you said something like: "I did xyz" and xyz was just something you were supposed to do.
It meant you did good, but that it was normal (because you are white). kinda like "oh, you want a cookie/medal?" She was from Baton Rouge.
I once heard my Grandmother ask her if it was more appropriate to "call them blacks or coloreds" Grandma left me $10k and she didn't even like me. Mom was a boomer so didn't leave anything but bills.
