No, no, your other left.— I think that hand is used in parts of the US but not in others. It's like the expression, "Do you want to go with?" or, "Can I go with?" It's common in some areas but unheard of in others.

I haven’t heard this too much irl; it seems like a British-inspired affectation. Idk though, might also be partly generational.

Do you ever watch Rick & Morty? They say it really often. And it seems to be creeping into other entertainment. Just a guess but I think it may be a Chicago, Midwest thing. Growing up in the South, I never heard it. You seem new. Bienvinidos

Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from UK. It's more like a New England/tri-state/midwest thang. What's an intellectual like you doin' in a place like this? 😬

Agreed. I don't recall hearing anybody using this phrasing this in the UK, and I'm so British that I've already reported your post to the authorities as hate speech.
