In Northern America construction workers call the first snowfall "drag-up" dust meaning it's time to quit their jobs and return to the south for the winter.
When the first snowfall came, the apprentice from Louisiana went back home citing the drag-up dust policy.

A snirt storm is a blizzard on the Great Plains of North America. The snow is actually made up a of combination of snowflakes and dirt particles. Because the wind is so strong in flat areas like plains, it pulls topsoil right up into the air. If you walked outdoors during a snirt storm you would feel constant stings of sand-sized particles sandblasting your face. When people get back indoors, they have a very distinctive appearance, because the dirt accumulates around their eyes, making them look like raccoons.
Everyone scurried indoors to escape the snirt storm, but not before their eyes had become encrusted in black dirt, making them look like raccoons.
1. An evil atmosphere, perhaps haunted by evil spirits or having a history of bad luck, or some dark history of past events (such as haunted by a murdered soul); 2. A bad situation. A situation you should get away from, because it's harming you; 3. A person's very bad attitude or ill intentions toward you, or toward people generally.
1. This place has bad mojo, and they say it's haunted. 2.That's some bad mojoâdon't get involved. 3. That guy is bad mojoâyou should get away from him. He is bad news. He is out to hurt you.

An inferior example of something that does not impress anyone.
That local theater play was a real penny-enny productionâvery unremarkable and definitely not worth the time spent watching it.
This is the word Minnesota Scandinavians use instead of "ish."
Oh ishta! This dress looks frumpy!

To have a muffled quality to your voice caused by an underlying reverberating resonance.
His voice sounds like Sylvester Stallone with a mouthful of bees.
An imaginary tool used to haze beginning apprentices on construction sites, by telling them to retrieve this tool from some other part of the site. Each time the apprentice arrives at a new location, the workers, who know there is no such thing as a pipe stretcher, play along with the joke by saying something like "oh, you just missed it--they're using it up on the third floor, so you'll have to ask them." The apprentice is sent all around the job site for the entire work day, or until the apprentice figures out it is a joke.
I need you to go down to the south end and get that pipe stretcher back from the iron workers.
