This page collects local slang terms used (verifiably) in the media. This list will never be comprehensive, but it may someday be useful enough to become a real article:
- Brooky/Brookie: A resident of Mountain Brook
- Dead Man's Curve: Intersection of I-20 West and I-59 South; also called "Six Flags Over Death" because of the proximity of Forest Hill Cemetery to the junction
- LaLa: nickname for Larry Langford
- Operation New White People: criticism against Operation New Birmingham
- Shitty Stages: criticism for City Stages
- Tiny Kingdom: pejorative name for Mountain Brook
- Tank Farm: The Pelham Exit 242 on I-65, recognizable by large gas storage tanks owned by Colonial Pipeline Company.
