    In Wales we have some wierd sayings but we all know what they mean.
    "I'll be there now in a minute"
    "Mun" this is said mostly after every sentence " I'll be there now in a minute, mun"

    "Who's coat is that jacket?"
    "Who's coat is that jacket,mun?"

    My favourite is "I wouldn't shag that Gorillakangadog with someone else's dick, mun"

    And we wonder why the rest of the world think were 'tup'

    My favourite that I say hundreds of times a day is 'bollocks' and depending on the amount of shock/anger/aggression I am feeling 'big hairy bollocks' hanging bollocks or fuck bollocks' I am such a classy bird :D

    The Doc Brown (Back to the Future, people): 'Great scot!' I use 'holy crap' in great proliferation. And, as a more positive interjection, 'bully!' usually with a big, hearty, Teddy Roosevelt sort of voice.

    Also, in an attempt to avoid blasphemy, I dropped the 'god' and added an extra 'damn' to coin 'damn damn it'. Childish? Maybe. Corny? Certainly. But it suits me, and I use it. A lot.

    One I remember from my Navy (Never Again Volunteer Yourself) days. We had a Filipino BTI in the shop who spoke passable English but had a really strong accent still. One of his frequent expressions was "What da puck?"
    Also works reasonably well in mixed company or other situations where stronger language is a bad idea.

    My absolute favorite phrase (not therapeutic, of course): "That sounds like a personal problem to me."

    I forget where I heard this (probably some movie) but I have also heard "god bless america" used for that and done so myself when my kids are well within earshot and something happens to cause such a statement.

    i watch a lot of uk shows on netflix and i love a lot of expressions on there. "what are you on about?!" and "go on, take a piss" and "sorted" are 3 of my fav's.

    also i remember another one i like to use sometimes... when someone's ranting and raving or giving a long-ass unwanted lecture nearby unprovoked, i like to say "who put a quarter in that guy?!"

  18. I have no fucking clue, but my grandmother and her sisters say it all the time. It is very threatening. Old Appalachian women in general are threatening.
