you can't get there from here

A phrase that is stereotypically attributed to people from Maine, usually by people in the lower New England states to feel superior to our Northern neighbors (like we don't talk funny enough). It has to be said with a northern Maine accent: "there" is pronounced "they-ahh" and "here" is pronounced "hee-yahhhh." The "you" is implied and does not need to be said.

Well you can't get there from here.

you can't get there from here

A situation where streets have been subject to so much traffic calming modification (eg fences, traffic lights, one way streets) that it is impossible to get to the place you want, even though you can see it clearly.

Tourist: "I want to go to that shop but there's nowhere to cross the street."
Local: "You can't get there from here. You have to go back the way you came to the traffic lights, cross over to the other side of the street, walk back this way, go past here, then three blocks down there's a pedestrian crossing, cross back to this side, and head back down this way."
Tourist: "That's ridiculous!"
Local: "Yeah, but what can you do?"

I can see my house from here

A hyperbolic joke made by people who are rather high up in the air, but not high (or close) enough to actually see their houses.

Sylvie on a ferris wheel: "Don't rock the cart, we're so high up! Like, I can see my house from here"

Hey, come here, go away from here! (Bo'na, Lech Mi'po!)

Sounds conflicting? Maybe. But in Hebrew it has the following meaning: Bo'na (which literally translates to "come here"), is a term used to call for somebody attention. So, if you want to tell somebody to leave you alone (to go away = "Lech mi'po") ... you would say (see Example)

"Hey, come here, go away from here!"
