I've heard it lots of times, and I'm in Ohio. Yeah, I checked: *Origin:* 1855–60, Americanism ; from phrase come up + -ance Dictionary.com Unabridged Edited 1 time by JulieAnne20 05/28/2012 6:57 AM.

Agreed This reminds me of when my friend told me that once while he was bartending, one of the regulars came in and sat down to read a newspaper. So as a gag, he went over to him and said, "Hey :name: I didn't know you were literate." And the guy responded with, "Literate isn't a word, it's called "illiterate"."

I've found that people who read a lot tend to know a lot of words that aren't in everyday usage. As for comeuppance, I can't remember the last time I said that. I think 'karma' is the go-to instead.
