I'm Skippy with That!


Have any of you ever heard the phrase, "I'm skippy with that"???
I grew up in north Texas and I thought I had a decent vocabulary and a mental Rolodex full of idioms, but I can honestly say I have never heard that before. My friend can't believe that I have never heard it and says it is a common phrase. I Googled it and Wiki-ed it and found nothing that wasn't about some dude named "Skippy".
So-- have you used this phrase and/or heard it before...... and if you have, then where did you grow up or where is the person from whom you know that uses this term. Etymology intrigues me.

Please COMMENT as:
[A]
1) "I have never heard it before in my life."
2) "I have heard from time to time and have no idea what those people are talking about, and why do they keep calling me 'Skippy'?"
3) "Not only have I heard it, but I grew up saying it.... what planet did YOU come from?"
4) "I have heard it before and know what it means from context, yet I have not yet mingled it with my vernacular and probably never will."

[B]**
I grew up in _____(City)_________, ___(State)______


**I would like to see if there is a regional correlation.
Thank you!
