As someone in their 40s, I can report that this was an expression being used regularly in the US pre-internet. It's not that it's online slang, it's that the internet has exposed you to American speech patterns. (For which I can only apologize.)

But you'll look fair
Upon the chair
Of a bicycle built for food
