i always liked stuff with ... "living-daylights"

like when you get in trouble... your parents say, "I'm gonna spank the living-daylights outta you!! !"

always thought it was funny

"This'll hurt me more than it hurts you."

I'm thinking, how is that possible, usually?

I like Bugger a lot, classic Kiwi term. I also like my two made-up swear words; Flitch and Schmitz. Shcmitz also happens to be a German company name for truck tire flaps!

'Bugger' is British!

"What the blazes?" - version of WTF

"Don't mess with your elders" - line i use when people pick on me

"Ku desa! Ku Ku Ku!" - Al Bhed (i think) for "Go time! Go Go Go!" - used whenever lunch is dismissed at school.

cant think of any others right now

When I was younger I used to use the phrase "what's his/her 'nad" instead of "what's his/her name." It sounds stupid but I swear everyone who heard me use that started to pick it up.

"There is more then one way to skin a cat"..... Who are these people and why are they skinning cats in multiple ways????

I like a lot of the Southern idioms (mark Twain was great at these)but cant think of any off hand<---off hand?

"Beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick"

"________ and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee"<-----implying that _______is worthless.
