I've been seeing this more and more lately, do people say this consciously or is it slang or what? Why not just say "shirt needs ironing" or "shirt needs *to be* ironed" correctly?

I first saw this online and thought it was just a typo, now I'm seeing it more and more, what the hell kinda slang is that? 😕 Sorry, me being a New Englander, I don't undertand it 😛

So if someone were to say, "The caah needs washed", you'd understand it? 😛
