Got any old or local expressions of....

[dave 911]

"Slap your Grandma"

[Z-man]

I use the following phrase to desribe one's personality: "He/she's got the personality of a pumpkin rotting in the middle of a field."

Others I use: "Tobett esszel mint errovel" (Hungarian for: use your brain more than your braun. But it sounds better in Hungarian.)

Another popular Hungarian phrasse is: "He comes and goes, like a fart in the bathtub."

At work, a German fellow often butchered English phrases, and these phrases have stuck. For example, "We can nothing do." is still used here widely, even though he is long gone.

Another phraes at work often used is, "Do the needful." IE: go the extra mile to get the request completed.

Some other phrases I use:
"Smell you later." (From the Simpsons)
"I am going to the bank to make a downposit" (Combo of downpayment and deposit)
"Really? No, REALLY?"

-Z-man.

Do you work with lots of folks from India? My company has folks that work out of India for our night-shift and many of them seem to use "Do the needful."

Online, I'll use "Holy Carp" to keep things clean.

Mom: Oy gevalt!
Grandmother: You crumb-bun! (Ironically Grandma taught me the words @$$hole and fck)
An ex-gf: Ay de mi! (a bit odd for a whitebread girl of Italian extraction)

[wdfifteen]

Boy howdy

I have no idea what it means, but it's used as a kind of emphasis.

Grandma - "That there chicken pot pie was some smooth peckin'"
Grandpa - "Boy howdy!"

Yep. I work in IT.

Another one that I've been using lately is:

"It's not like rocket surgery..."

[scottmandue]

I don't lose my temper often...

And I'm embarrassed to admit (swearing was not allowed in the house where I grew up)

When I do blow my top... with out thinking... out of my mouth comes..

"Mother f***ing piece of sh**"

At work when things are totally messed up I will tell my supervisor "the situation is not ideal"

At work when things are totally messed up I will tell my supervisor "mother f***ing piece of sh**". And he will often 1-up me.

All of the "old schoolers" here swear like sailors. Including the women. Behind closed conference-room doors, anyway. Nowadays among the rank & file they have toned it down a bit.

"Sweet fancy moses"

[Arizona 911]

I used to hear this growing up in rural Illinois.
"Well, spank my butt and call me red."
