Seen it referenced as a dialogue, "soright, soright." etc. What the heck does this mean?

Right, but does it occur somewhere in pop culture that makes it a common reference point? Especially when said really fast and in kind of a high pitch?

reference to english comedy\skit shows? I would understand it that way, anyway. Seems like something you'd hear in Red Dwarf.

Best I can think of is Bart Simpson saying it with sock puppets, I think... "Soright?" "Soright!" And one Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode.
