This ties in with boston humor a lot. when i was in California i was at a wicked lame party and some guy was yappin away on his cell so i turned to the chick next to me and say "jeezuz who brought the cool kid." she looked at me like i had five heads. they not only dont get the phrase but dont get sarcasm.
This was a very popular phrase in highschool, often for people whose cell phones would ring in class. Now I'm out in Ohio and nobody gets anything - much less humor.

I'm from Connecticut and have the same observation. I tend to think of this as a New England dictionary, not a Boston one. :)
