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?"
