What Koreans really mean
This expression is a strong indicator of Gyeongsang-do dialect (satoori). '묵다' is the regional equivalent of standard Korean '먹다' (to eat) or '오래 되다' (to become old/be a long time). '아이가' is a common Gyeongsang-do interrogative/rhetorical ending, equivalent to standard '아니냐?' or '아닌가?'. Using satoori often conveys a sense of familiarity and closeness.
