I know some people (between 50 and 80 years old) who are from Orne. They’ve never heard that before and I also asked my parents who are from Vendée and Lorraine and they are the same. It may not help you but it replies to the first question haha!
But I’m pretty sure this expression is not popular in France even in Normandie and is definitely not fashionable here in France.
I have never heard that expression but I have already heard expressions that are similar :
- Tu vois (bien) -> “You perceive” (I have never heard to perceive before, thanks to Google translate!)
- Tu vois (bien) ce que je veux dire -> “You know what I mean”
My answer will be very short: I have never heard (nor read) anything like that in my whole life. 🙂
