I don't think it would be strange for Americans to turn a British saying into something more ironic or sarcastic, but in this case I definitely think it comes from sloppy speakers.

No? Fair enough. I never believed the whole "Americans don't get irony" thing that does the rounds over here, but I didn't think you used it as much as we did. Most foreigners I meet complain about my sarcasm, but that's probably more down to me being a miserable individual...

Indeed. People who don't listen to power metal are pretentious twats who find articles on random expressions to be interesting.
