Haven't heard this phrase since I left NYC, at least not in this context. What context is that, you ask?
Walking down the street at WSU from class to the parking garage. Spoken by a Spanish man walking towards me. A compliment, not a blessing. Another favorite I used to get was, "Thank you, Mommy." Spanish men in cities definitely have their own way of saying things.
Still a compliment is a compliment, and I'll take it.
You bet you should! This tickled me because my 17 year old mentioned a hispanic man calling her "Mommy". She said, 'I was like ,seriously dude, I'm in high school' ; )
