is this just an Ohio thing???

If this was you saying this... would u say....

do you want to take the dog for a walk, or no?
or do you say....do you want to take the dog for a walk?

do you say... are you ready to eat, or no?
are you ready to eat?

have you ever lost your mind, or no?
have you ever lost your mind?

I over heard a conversation today saying Ohio is the only state that says "OR NO" after mostly every question. Everytime I ask somebody a question, I always find myself saying "or no".

weird... who else says "Or no" after each question?

do you guys say this, or no?

I think there was some funny seasoning in your Thanksgiving day stuffing.

I've lived in Cincinnati and never noticed it. I still go up to visit family. It may be a regional thing.

It must be an Ohio thing.In Maine we don't ask people to do stuff, we tell them to do it.

Eat now biatch!

You lost your mind biatch!

I say it occasionally, but I think it depends on the question. Or if I'm not getting an answer.

So does that answer your question, or no?

Each region has its own special nationwide quirks.

I can't recall ever having said "or no" at the end of any question. "Or not" occasionally but never "or no".
