I wouldn't be surprised if this structure came from Germanic immigrants. And maybe from Yiddish too. German has a similar structure. "Kommst du mit?" "Are you coming with?"
And German influences made it all the way to California. In filmmaking, the abbreviation MOS means "silent, with no sound" because German directors wanted the scene "mit-out sound".

I really think so. I used to live in California and when I moved to Minnesota, that expression was used all over. I got so irritated with it, but now after living here for 16 years, i've gotten used to it. However, that doesn't mean I say it myself. I still hate it.

It's an expression that people started using, but no one knows where it came from exactly.

I don't think so. That's a rather old expression. I remember them using that one on Beverly Hills 90210.
