My dad told us this when we were kids re: walking in a crosswalk. Said we should be aware of drivers when in one. I still use the phrase where applicable.
As for walking in the villages (or anywhere really) I'm always looking around, not staring down into a phone. If I happen to bring my phone (optional) and have to answer a text, I'll step off the road somewhere.
