My mother's dad was a man that just never cussed. His strongest expression was "dingbust" and that was for when he smashed his thumb with a hammer.
One phrase we use for the occasional real estate speculator that comes in our office is "big hat no cattle" to describe the guy that is showing us plans on how he is going to develop a square mile of land and have fantastic plans. Then he want us to discount a $1,000 job so he can get started. We are always amazed he plans to spend millions of other people's money but he can't come up with a grand to get the process started.
Our favorite of all time was a guy that actually said he was going to build a ski resort in the Arbuckle mountains in southern Oklahoma. We had to try real hard to keep from laughing in his face.
