Now that I'm old and crotchety like she was, I figure I can use the expression as well - when appropriate. Although I'm not sure what brought it to mind just then, except that this was probably around the same time that Rockin' in the Free World came out as when the babushka was dissin' me, so maybe an association was built up at the time.
