For whatever reason, whenever my mother was frustrated with something, she would yell the numbers "4976!" I have no idea why, and neither does she, but it's kind of ingrained at this point.
My maternal grandmother uses the term "hoochie" for anything she can't remember the name for. Hilarity ensues.
