"Scotland Forever"
Or just random names for things that are different from what people say in other places.
One of my favorites where I live (southern U.S.) is the expression "cotton-pickin'". I have no idea where it comes from or really what it's actually supposed to mean, but it's used as an expression of displeasure or irritation. "Dadgum" and "Dadgum your hide." are similar expressions.
Also, people tend to call the little black bugs that roll up into balls "rolly-pollies", which I think is kind of cute, but I call them "pillbugs".
So, what about y'all? Any weird/fun expressions you'd like to share? (:
