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
