Is It Hot Enough For You?

A question on this expression to the Americans in the room:

 

Where does it come from? Who uses it? Anything more to add?

 

From what I have gathered so far: it is used mostly by people from Maine in the hot summer month to "flatlanders" (obvious outsiders), since Mainers despise the heat so much.

 

How much of this is true? Do others in America use it as well? If so, in what context and to whom? That sort of stuff..

 

Thanks in advance.

I hear it all the time - I'm not even american.

Fascinating. I guess it spread to the northern neighbors as well

 

So how is it used? Seriously? Comically? Irritably? All of the above? Have you ever used it? What do you feel when you hear it? That sort of thing.

 

Thanks for replying btw!
