Is it supposed to be a midwesternism? I was startled by it the first time
I ever heard it after moving to the Pac NW from the midwest. Admittedly,
most of my experience had been either urban or suburban in NE & IL.
I don't think I've heard it much in the thirty years we've lived up here in
far northern NY.
