..."Long may your big jib draw" is a phrase used in Newfoundland to wish someone luck.   Also, if you "have something under your pinny" in Canada's most easterly province, you're pregnant.  In one of my Back Tracker novels, a unique Newfoundland phrase proved a valuable clue to my heroine.

Very cool facts! I love learning stuff like this and it's very interesting that you were able to incorporate these into your novels. Keepin' it Canadian, eh? :-)
