Idiom. Elide. It's really not that confusing. Idioms are about meaning, elision is about sound.
Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition... in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.
