Great Googly Moogly! Shiver me Gibbets! I'll be a monkey's uncle!

Bless my collar button!
Feller me lad!
Ju-das Priest!!
What kind of Kack-handed idea is that?
Arf a mo', gov'nor.
Pull my finger!

My NPC's need to say colorful things like this. I figure with the geographical diversity of this group, there might be interesting catchphrases we can pick up to make our NPC's (and PC's as well) a little more unique. Anybody got any to share?

 

[der_kluge]

Great Horny Toads!
Egads!

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Great googa-mooga!

Holey Moses!

I'm protect-a-fied!

 

[Balgus]

Sir Osis of Liver:
Great googa-mooga!

I guess it's just geographic differences, but around my neck of the woods, it's "Great Googly Moogly"

and then there's:

holy hannah
shiver me timbers
blow me down
Great caesar's ghost
Arrr matee
tis a fine lad/lass
ayeEE
oiyeee vay
ummm

hella
roight (no- the O was not a typo)

"Three skulls gets you a hot lunch."

Variation: Well slap my butt and call me Sally

Sweet baby Jebus (maybe not campaign friendly)

I think the Buffy/Angel episodes offer a heap of colorful phrases. For instance:

"Witch-fu" Buffy says to Willow after she casts a spell.
"Sire-whipped" Vampire slang
"Five-by-five" a phrase Faith uses often
"What's the sitch?" Buffy asks
"That's fairly freaksom!" - Oz
"Battle Strattitude" - Giles
"Bucket of funny" - Xander
"Hello Salty Goodness" - Cordelia
...and finally "Grind your organ - I'll be your monkey" - Loren

 

[Psychotic Jim]

Well, shut my mouth and paint me red!
Well, shoot the horse and slap me silly!
Well, stomp on frogs and shove a crowbar up my nose!
