I didn't think the original question was addressing the grammar of the expression but rather whether it was an accepted speechism, something that a reader would recognize rather than balk at. I guess what threw me, since everyone else seems to think the question was a grammar question, was the use of "expression". Expression implies to me a saying, a quote, a regionalism, a colloquialism -- that is, not a question of grammar.

What made the rest of you see it as a grammar question?
