" I am aware that "know your onions" means someone is experienced in a subject matter, but I wanted to know whether it is an antiquated expression.

I learned it from my landlady, who said that someone certainly knows his onions.

I replicated this expression and tried it on a friend by commenting that he really knows his onions (he is good with translating from Chinese into English). However, he said that he never heard about this expression. I thought that he was ignorant, but none of 6 other friends have ever heard this expression. Their age range is between 20 and 30, while my landlady is in her 60s. Is this a regional expression, or is it only used sparingly under certain circumstances?

Fra samme link: " I'm familiar with it and know what it means, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it; I probably read it in stories that took place in olden times. In other words, it's old-fashioned and not part of today's speech.

Where you'd say, in a bygone day, "he knows his onions", you'd now say, he's an expert in his field, or he knows what he's talking about. "

Det kommer veldig an på sammenhengen det ble sagt i, for det virker ikke som et fast uttrykk. 

Kanskje h*n mente: Jeg er den som får deg til å gråte. Eller: Jeg er den du må skrelle for å nå mine indre lag. Eller: Jeg er den som forteller deg skrøner. Eller: Jeg er den du må bli klok på.

Å, jeg leste uttrykket feil. Trodde det var "I am your onion". Glem alt jeg sa.
