<br>
<br>I've never heard it in Texas (Houston), or for that matter in California
<br>(Bay Area).  However I've heard it in New Jersey (Trenton) and on Long
<br>Island (Hicksville).
<br>
<br>Interestingly enough, it's pretty close to the German construction, e.g.
<br>"Gehst du mit?"

<br>P.S.  Peter (Richardson), do you know if there's any relation?  I
<br>wondered about that when I heard it in English.
