Completely meaningless phrase which has gained mysterious global popularity. It means "Once, I..." or "I used to..." but is
uglier and
lazier. Similar to the equally meaningless "at the end of the day..." popularised by
English soccer stars.

antique store the other day; made from
vinyl and everything.
Person B: What are records?
Person A: They're how people listened to music back in the day before
CDs and radios.

A pretentious phrase some people use to signal approval for previous
irresponsible conduct while avoiding references to the consequences of conduct they learned by
necessity to avoid.

As in yesterday. Ironic usage of an older expression. Making reference to our collective
short term memory. The constant
churning of events from the present into
the bin of discarded Time magazines.
