On a similar topic, it's amusing to hear folks say "if you don't like the weather in _______ just wait - it will change in a few minutes". Heard folks say that about their particular town all over the country, as if it only applies to their locale...
Spent 20 years living outside of Boston. Rubber band is 'elastic' - perhaps a New England term too.
I lived in Leesburg for 8 years before moving to TV last year. Just after moving to FL in '05, I drove up to the TV area to shop at a (then) new strip-store area on 441. Was walking to the new store before all signage was up, and coming close to the front doors I encountered a couple that was entering also. I said to them "excuse me, is this the Bed Bath and Beyond store?" They said yes, and immediately "What part of Chicago are you from?". Blew me away (was born/raised in Chicago), they caught my accent right away.
