Expression USED On Occasion BY Native speakers, rather older
(my dear Mr. Singing Club) • Used if you want to express that something is rather extreme. It is an outcry to certain situations. It translates word for word to "my dear Mr. Singing Club". I do t know the exact origin, but I always connect it to possibly extreme volumes and shouting or singing of male singing clubs.

“Did you see the defeat Bayern suffered in the last game?” “My dear Mr. Singing Club, that was nasty.”
