I've never heard it earlier in my life span, sorry. very stange expression, isn't it?
It's really hard to pinpoint where on earth some of these expressions originate from, but it's interesting to details that they endure long ample to become a cliche. I don't think it be anyone's grandmother in one, nor did she necessarily own a yacht. My definition of the expression is slightly different. I think it scheme that a person is aft the times, and is meant as derogatory.
As for your definition, some severely recent commercials for women's wear have borrowed and paraphrase this expression -- "Not your daughter's jeans" -- in other words, jeans that don't fit approaching a second skin, or show the navel, but more relaxed-fitting jeans that cover up everything -- more appropriate for a teenager's mom. Never heard that one formerly but it's Fab, I shall be using that phrase from now on, thankfulness
