It doesn't matter what common slang or phrases you hear, doesn't make it proper English.

I hear "I'm not doing nuffink" in Eastenders quite a lot, doesn't make it correct.

That's a clear double negative combined with cockneys inability to pronounce any word with th in it.

It's an example of slang local way of speaking that is not correct, which I'm presuming is the same for this phrase you claim to hear a lot. A phrase that has caught on with people even though it is technically not correct.
