--- Quote from: Tova on 19 Jun 2016, 22:28 ---On a side note, I always find the expression "You wanna come with?" to be strangely amusing yet just slightly appealing. Is that unique to the USA? That's the only place I recall coming across it.

It is funny that while the Danish word "med" means the exact same thing as the English word "with", just about none of the idioms using it translate word by word. E.g. "vil du med?" "want you with?" or in better English "do you want with?". Similar "shall I take something with for you?" or "do you want something with?", "I'm just with", "with home" or "take with" ( = to go).
I just realised that I do not know how to say "I'm just with" in English. That is, I am not here to buy something, I am accompanying one who is.
Anyway "You wanna come with?" is mostly used in areas with Scandinavian influence. Or German, I guess.

I don't think that Bubbles appreciates that kind of humor. Though she does recognize it for it is.

ive done a lot of research on and off about the rate or decomposition and the tell tale signs of it plus if things are likely to kill someone or not. I mean its for stories, but i could only imagine if someone looked at my search history. my most recent one was how much of a giant icicle would melt due to body heat if it impales someone when it falls
JimC:
Here is southern england "you wanna come?" or "Coming with me?" would be most likely, never heard "come with" bare, "want to come with me?" would be more formal. "I'm just with him" would be pretty universal I think.
Don't think I've ever heard the pronoun dropped and preposition retained like that. In south east english I don't think its at all common for the pronoun to be dropped without the preposition going too.
