My wife uses it all the time, but when I used it in front of a group of people, she laughed at me. Apparently it's not hyoujungo, but she wasn't sure if it was kansaiben, or just colloquial speech used everywhere. Anyone know?
Never heard of it in my life. I googled it and found that it's a dialect (hougen) of Okinawa, meaning "kokoro no naka ni jiwajiwa to wakiokoru iraira, mukatsuki".
