Actually, I've heard people use it in conversation too.

I have to wonder how much of it originates first from speech. For instance, accent. I was raised in New York where dog sounds more like douhg. Similarly, a lazy "b" in jibe could become jive as we type what we hear in our head.

People from the City think of it as the City and upstate, but as someone who grew up in central NY/ Finger lakes, upstate always meant something different to me.
