Side-by-Each

Refers to two objects that are aligned beside each other also known as Side-by-Side. Others have stated that it is used in Rhode Island, it is also prevelant in Newfoundland and Quebec and I beleive would be likely to be encountered through many east coast fishing communities.
It would be interesting to know if this originated from the French or Irish or through the Acadians.

Waitress, Can I hav' two eggs, side-by-each...and don't break the sunshine. (Two eggs, sunny side up)

I was out back and saw these two moose side-by-each, I turned to get my gun and when I looked back dere-dey-were...gone!

Pour the coals to her

An old saying from when ships were powered by coal fired boilers. When the captain wanted full speed he'd call down to the boiler room and the master stoker would call out for everyone to "Pour to coals to her" - literally to feed more coal to her (ships are always female). The saying became synonymous with “giving it your all” and to accelerate as fast as you can.

The liquor store closes in 15, better pour the coals to her!

plain-as-day

A phrase that indicates something so obvious that even the thickest, most oblivious person should see it. Usually, but not always, meant in a slightly insulting or derogatory manner; Origins are unknown but possibly derived from Irish. Use of it seems to have started on the east coast but is also found throughout the country, mostly in rural communities. Similar to: "as plain as the nose on your face".

"Those kids died? Well it's a shame but it's plain-as-day they shouldn't have been playing at the top of the cliffs."
"Did I see the latest Darwin Award? Well it's plan-as-day that you shouldn't strap a rocket engine to the roof of your car."
"How do you get downtown? See that water tower, head for that and you'll find downtown, plain-as-day, just to the right."

dere-dey-were

A phrase from the east coast; literally "there they were". Used to confirm the presence of something sometimes indicating surprise. Similar to stating "I went looking for Jen and Bob and found them standing right behind me" - "I was looking for Jen and Bob and dere-dey-were, behind me!"

I was lookin' for my glasses and dere-dey-were, plain-as-day, sittin' on me head.
I was out back and saw two moose, I turned to get my gun and whe I looed back dere-dey-were - gone!
