    I am one who frequently corrects my family and friends in that matter saying, "No! You did well!" when they say, "I did good!" If you want to use the word good to describe the job well done, you might say, "I did a good job!" Still, don't take my word for it, grammar freaks make a living argueing every day over the correct way they think grammar should be.

    They told me that its the proper way to say that phrase

    So you don't sound like an uneducated idiot.............
