Phrase used by people in
Alaska
to refer to the 48 contiguous states of the
United States
. Also used in general speech as a way to refer to the United States minus the 'freak states' of Alaska and
Hawaii
. This usage is kind of odd given that there is nothing 'Higher' about Hawaii, but I suspect it derives from the fact that more middle Americans have had relatives move to Alaska than Hawaii.
