Mine is probably:
"salad days are gone" *proceeds to dramatise my lost youth*
"this is propaganda"
"fickle pickles"
"Good lord I've frightened the children"
"pickles and garfunkel"
"pringles is the man"
"spaz"
"s/he's a cracker"

You sound like a hungry person

I'd have to go with 'g'day' (my now standard greeting for anyone) and 'useless as tits on a bull' - with can be used amazingly often.

'useless as tits on a bull'
This is bloody brilliant 👌

I also like "get in the sea" and I tend to call any time early in the morning "shit o'clock" :P

I have a habit of continually calling people 'bellends'. Otherwise I commonly quote Zero Punctuation https://www.youtube.com/user/TheEscapistMagazine my favourite one being "I've got so much egg on my face you could slap me with a frying pan and call me an omelette."

Edit: Also Wallah (sometimes followed by 100%) but that's an inside joke at school.

I invite far too many people to fuck me sideways.



I also have a tendency to use the Spanish word ๓rale, which is amazingly flexible. It can be used as an expression of excitement or an expression of frustration.
