birch broom in the fits (untidy, said about a person’s hair)
come-from-away (CFA - a tourist)
crooked (cranky)
drag-off (to pick someone up at a bar, and bring them home)
in a tear (in a hurry)
lazy man's load (a very large load to carry - someone too lazy to make two trips!)
mainlander (anyone not born on the Island)
mauzy (misty)
nipper (mosquito)
