I think I'm going to start saying "I'm a little porkish" when I'm hungry to knock a chunk off someone.

Sometimes I wonder if y'all are a few tacos short of a combination plate.

And when it's stinkin' hot, I get the horribles, too; nonetheless, I'm really starting to get screaming fantods about this snow.

ahh. Colorful expressions.

Let me preface this with a caveat: I have a foul mouth (more backstory is here.)

My all-time favorite phrase is, "For fuck's sake!"

If I'm in the company of children, or if I'm at work, my favorite phrase is, "Crikey!" said in a really bad Liverpudlian accent.

Some newer phrases that I have co-opted from Halo2 and such creative genius as Red Versus Blue is, "team-killing fucktard."

Heh...another of my favorite phrases, "I'm gonna peg you into submission" comes from my favorite Kiwi.  I have a New Zealander friend, Tony, who is awesome. He's tall and ripped, and sexy as hell (ex-military, volunteer firefighter, carpenter, runs his family's dairy farm, etc.). He is also gay, but that doesn't mean I can't admire his sexxahness.

Anyhow, last summer he was hanging out with me, my fiance, and our mutual friends, Evan & Jessica. The guys were doing some maintenance on their cars. My fiance was having some difficulty with his Toyota, and he yelled something to the effect of, "You cocksucking bitch!" at it.

Tony stopped. Looking at my fiance, he said, "Hey now, you've not only insulted me, you've also insulted Linne and Jess. You'd better watch it, boy, before I buttfuck you into submission."

Heh. The look on my fiance's face was priceless. In the spirit of Dan Savage's article on pegging, I have co-opted Tony's phrase and I regularly threaten to sodomize men who piss me off, usually with a strap-on (aka, "pegging") or whatever is at hand. ;) Hee!

Ahem.

None of them are "old but good" expressions.  You've completely missed the point of the thread.

You lose five points from your "coolness" scorecard.

I thought she was funny. And I can think about her with a strap-on, which is just a huge bonus.

Also, on-topic: I have a friend who still calls people variations of the word 'Dil'

as in SHUT UP DILWad or SHUT UP you DIL! That's some archaic usage if you ask me.  A fun sub-thread to this might be Phrases we don't use any more that sound really stupid now.

Like when I was in Elementary School and we used to tell each other to Sit On It. And Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose.

My 5 year old daughter spontaneously breaks into "So, So, suck your toe, all the way to Mexico; While you're there, eat a pear, eat a pair of Underwear!"

I've always been partial to Great Googly-Moogly, but I think I like Great Shades of Elvis even better.
Off topic, I always wanted to get shirts or bumper stickers printed that said "the four Elvii of the apocalypse" and had pics of Presley, Costello, Stojko, and Grbac. Now the last two are getting sort of obscure . . . if they weren't too obscure before. And preemptively, Elvii may not be the correct declination of whatever the word actually would be in Latin or whatever, but it's funnier that way, which trumps everything.

Come on. Who doesn't remember Rich Hall and his Sniglet fame from the '80s? I'd say that's a pretty fuck*ng textbook example of an "Old But Good" expression. Pegging someone into submission is a pretty antiquated concept. Dan Savage, with the help of his readers, just coined a  Sniglet in its honor.
