Usually my friend uses it in response to my apologizing for some snarky thing I said.
(In reality, he probably uses it all the time, I just don't hear it)
Of the subject, but the phrase that the millennials around me tend to use which irritates me is, "Gotcha." I didn't really hear it until nursing school, when most of my classmates were younger than me. I heard it in response to my giving an explanation of something. I don't know why it is mildly irritating...sort of dismissive, maybe? Anyway. Sorry. TOTALLY off subject. Carry on.
