In the Annotated Version Written by Emmy (5/17/2007 1:18 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Curious about York too..., penned by Moni

It gives the following explanation: York: a town in Northern England, and hence far from the Bennets. Mrs. Bennet means that Elizabeth cares nothing for them.

It says nothing about this was a common expression though it makes sense that Mrs. Bennet uses this type of language!
