If this is going to turn into a "let's be rude and sarcastic" thread then don't waste your time... I was just asking a question.

I guess it depends on where you're from, and who you hang out with. Around where I'm from, and the circles I hang out in, the phrases are common, if not overused to the point of annoyance.
It is very prevalant among the younger generation (late teens- early twenties).
