WTF does that mean?! Whatever it is, I like it - it really made me laugh!!!
When I was living in NY (through '84) a friend from SI would say "you're a pisser" - meaning you're funny/you're a trip.
(Actually we all said this...)
A friend of mine from Miami always says "go with"- like if he's gonna come along he'll say "I'll go with"...He has relatives from MN so I'm assuming that's a MN thang?
Help me out MNans!

I think the term "go with" "might could be" (another term used here) just an abbreviated slang term. I use it.
I asked my neice if she wanted to "go with" at a store once, and the sales lady said, "You're from the Midwest? Aren't you?" I was surprised, since I don't even realize I'm saying it.
I never heard it until I moved to the Midwest. Knew a woman from Chicago who said it all the time. When I moved to MN, noticed everyone says it! I believe it is from a literal translation of German phraseology. "Komm mit" literally means "Come with me."
Makin groceries = go grocery shopping (a throw back to French grammar)
Will you carry me to the store?
Heard both of these in Illinois from immigrants from the south, mostly Mississippi and Arkansas.
Until I realized that "carry" is synonymous with "take" to many Southerners, the lyrics to "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" didn't make any sense to me.
