So it sounds like you’re just not familiar with the phrase. It might not be “accepted and used” in your area, and I agree it’s confusing. But it is common, regardless.

Many examples can be found in your choice of search engine, here’s one result but it’s very very common.

As Schwanz’s granddaughter approached Lemmon’s casket, she shook her head yes and said, “That’s her,” referring to her great-grandmother, Rummerfield.

Not only is "common" unfortunately not a quantitative assertion (and I disagree), many incorrect usages are "common."

As earlier stated, obviously some people might use the opposite words for a particular effect.

I mean feel free to count search results if you care to assess exactly how common it is. Regardless, writing this phrase is not “insanity”

I'm pretty sure I only said it was wrong.
