Off hand I can't think of any.

One of the few expressions I've heard is unique to Central Florida.

Rather than the confusion of saying I-4 east (which is also going north) they say 'Inbound from the attractions'. That means going in the direction of downtown Orlando, from the southwest. You could be starting 10 miles north of any theme park, and driving past downtown and they'll still call it 'inbound from the attractions'.

I'll post if I think of anything else.
