What does "to bring with" mean in Upper Midwestern US slang?
It is used in the Upper Midwestern United States, especially Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and parts of Iowa, to mean bringing someone or something along with you, often in phrases like "Do you want to bring with?" or "I'll bring with my sister." People typically say "We're going to the lake, can I bring with my dog?" The term originated in 19th and early 20th century immigrant communities where German and Scandinavian sentence structures influenced English.
