For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've googled it and the British consensus seems to be it's a Northern/Scottish thing but guess what: We say it too, here in Sweden. First time I heard it a boutique owner said it to me (jokingly) as I was trying some trousers on. This was just a few days before I had to put my cat to sleep so the expression has sort of stayed etched on my brain... I think Mike's half mast explanation is probably correct, but that's just my language intuition; I haven't found anything conclusive.
