Not to try to bring anything home to anybody, but it doesn't seem to be anything more than simply a modified idiomatic expression that I mentioned, unless you know otherwise.
My only intention was to respond to your remark about the expression being missing in the dictionary
As usual, I don't insist on anything. Suite yourselves my dear friends!
