I would like to learn about strange expressions idioms, slang used in your area of the world.
For example
I'm from western Canada, where kilometers are called clicks, a small depression in the prairie is called a coulee, winter weather is broken up by a Chinook, and when I go out on the highway I "give 'er"

Here in NE Ohio we call the grass between the road and the sidwalk the "devil strip." No one's ever been able to tell me where the expression came from and I've never heard it called that anywhere else in the country.
