I don't know the exact origin but the phrase "me ould segotia" was used regularly by the late Jimmy O'Dea in a weekly comedy show on RTE called the "The Railwayman". I'm talking B&W TV here. Maybe early sixties. Its an old Dublin term of endearment, generally used for platonic friends in my experience.
