Can anyone tell me the origin of this colloquialism please? It doesn't seem to be common in Argentina or Mexico, as they never use estar in this instance.

Yes, I know what it means, thanks. I'm just looking for the origin or where it is most commonly used, as my Argentinian and Mexican friends aren't familiar with this saying.
