There's a word coined in this town's specific dialect that means "catty corner, kitty corner, or diagonal".

Hint: the first two syllables of that word are "anti", though the "t" is not a full fricative stop.

The only possible word that comes to mind is “anticlockwise” used in (some parts of?) the UK instead of “counterclockwise”… but that doesn’t exactly match “diagonally”. Is it the word though?

The word is "antigogglin'", pronounced: any-goggln. 🤓

Bonus hint: the area fought for the North in the Civil War.
