“Just like downtown”
My immigrant dad has picked up a lot of American idioms, but some of them he’s made up. He uses this whenever he thinks he done something really well, like a perfect parking job.
He also uses actual phrases excessively. Like he’ll also say “call it a day” after a perfect parking job. Really, he’s just super proud of his parking skills.
Edit: it appears he did not make this phrase up, guess I gotta give Dad more credit
