In addition to the Latin sentence, "Been there. Done that" MAY be related

to popular use that may be regional. A graduate student of mine would

drive her housmates and friends crazy when she would finish a task, large or

small, and say "Did that" as she filed the paper or threw away scratch paper

used in performing the task -- or when she got a pie ready to go into the

oven or took the pie out and prepared it for serving. Just a wild speculation

on my part, but it's possible that Kathy isn't alone in her usage. She grew

up in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, which has a rather strong Southern cultural

base.                 DMLance
