In reply to:
Dear Max: Capfka also said he believed the phrase was to be found only in small areas of US.

No, he did not say that. He said, and I quote, "it's a colloquialism which is unique to the US and (I suspect) not all of the US." No mention there of a "small area", he simply said "not all".
