Funny, that’s what I say when someone tells me they’re Baptist 😛
 
I remember from a cartoon in the 1990s, because that’s when I grew up, the main character was imagining a worst case scenario, because he did that. And in his imagination, he told his crush that she looked nice today. So his crush, in his imagination, said something like “so you mean I don’t look nice every other day?”. which is why, when I tell women something like that, I don’t add on something that can be implied as them not looking nice any other day. Although, again in the cartoon it was in the character’s head.
 
at work when someone wasn’t carrying their share of the load, someone would always say “hey xyz, you on vacation today?”
 
In the same scenario, someone coming in late gets the greeting “nice to see you could make it”.

Of course the opposite is
“Can’t make it to work today. Eye trouble.” Followed by someone muttering under their breath… “yeah. Can’t see coming into work, huh?”
