I have been searching the internet for the origin/meaning of the phrase: "Awfully wide of you." Any information anyone can share would be appreciated.

I think you're mis-hearing "awfully white of you."

I like it though -- mighty wide of you. Especially useful as some of us pack on pounds during the holiday season.

There are several entries for "mighty white" in the archives.
