Odd local words

Odd local words and phrases.

This is the thread for unique sayings (not a weird state laws thread).
For example: here, it seems like everyone always says "the crows get bigger every year." Also, as I'm in the country, people are always saying: "this is the wettest (or driest) spring ever!" Or "this is the coldest/hottest winter ever!" besides that, though, I "go down cellar" rather then go into the basement, eat grinders (that's a New England thing) rather than...er...subways? And eat (oh, delicious of delicious!) creemees (or cremes, or creeemeees, or creemeees, or cremees, etc: the very first one is the most usual, but "creme" is generally the way tourist-traps spell it) which is soft-serve ice cream everywhere else. Anyone?

I call the meal in the middle of the day lunch, and the one at night dinner.  It's cool that you say it the other way though, because that's really old-fashioned!  :D

I think that people in farming communities call it that.

P.S. I live on a farm. (:
