There is a podcast came A Way With Words that would be perfect. The two hosts are dictionary editors and can tell you, down to the region, the origins of sayings, when it was popular, everything! You should contact them and be on their show!

I was so excited to read your response; I had a chance to catch up on my podcast during a long drive this weekend and heard the episode from December 2022 in which a caller phoned in with this phrase that she had learned as a child in Montana. What a coincidence! I love listening to you and Martha, "A Way With Words" has been a longtime favorite podcast for years.
