I don`t need to know how it is used or anything like that - I`m just curious whether it is a 全国 thing or not.

It's mostly used in Western Japan, around Nagoya and further west. It isn't slang at all. In fact, it's a cool trace of Classical Japanese.
In Eastern Japan, you only hear it in one phrase: おはよう.
