This must be the translation of a Turkish saying, as I only find it on Turkish sites.

It is exactly true my friend.

It is an American idiom a bit old probably used for when you are late to acknowledge something.

Hope it is clear

No, SB, it is definitely not an American idiom. Have you read the rest of this thread? None of the American (or British, for that matter) moderators have ever heard it. However, I'm not too worried about your answer misleading the original questioner, as the question was asked over three years ago.
