An old phrase which reentered popular culture in the early 90s after being used in The Simpsons by the character Ned Flanders. It subsequently became a minor catch phrase of his, used in some Simpsons merchandise.
It means exactly what it says (the "say we did" part may or may not be sarcastic) but is often said in a patronizing tone or otherwise as a witty remark in a variety of situations.
