Just invented a new saying and I quite like it

Very random, but Just got in from work, hungry & bothered. Something annoyed me, so I said to myself, "oh shit off" and I must admit I quite like it, I will be using it in the future.
What are your new words/sayings you've invented & taken a liking to?

A very dear relation, now sadly dead, used to call mange tous 'flat peas' which we use now too.

Known as Mangy Toots in our house

I say cool yer beans when wanting someone to slow down or calm down. Is there cool your boots or something I've murdered?

Also when the kids are being dramatic I bring out "worst day everrrr" whilst miming eating ice cream which was literally my youngest last year, being a proper Kevin at only 7.

Cool your jets, calm your beans.

i used to live near Crouch End in North London. I once sent my sister a text saying ‘I saw your mate Sarah in Crouch End’ but autocorrect changed Crouch to Crotch. Crouch End was forever known as Crotch End in our house after that.

Late DH had heard the saying 'bat shit crazy' and wanted to use it, but couldn't remember the exact wording. He came out with 'shit bat nuts' which I like to use often (but only with friends and family who know the meaning behind it!)
