The use of "By the bye"

Hi

I tried to use my dictionary but couldn't get much help about the use of "by the bye".

Could you please tell me a bit about its meaning and use? Is the expressions still kicking?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,



The expression is still used, but it makes the speaker sound refined, educated, literary.
