My favourite new phrase...

Brio

I don't even know where I heard it last night, maybe Beato's killer interview with Stewart Copeland. But twice today instead of saying "Come on this is simple" I've used : 

"We're not breeding pandas..."

JezzaSnr

My most recent favourite, Joe Lycett from n describing the ease with which he managed to complete his bowel movement whilst being filmed for his latest TV show “like shoes falling from a loft…”

Timcito

One of my all-time favourites was by Frankie Howerd in Up Pompeii to describe a cantankerous middle-aged neighbour with no class but lots of money:

"You know the type: all fur coat and no knickers!"

My friends and I used to have one whenever one of us had a great idea.

"It just came to me...like a Metro on the tube". 

(Non-Londoners might not get the reference)

I play World of Tanks with my old boss regularly, when I get blown to bits I sometimes type in the chat, 'Avenge me boys, AVENGE ME!'
I never really knew where I got it from, until tonight, watching the 80's Red Dawn, when Jed and Matt are walking away from their father after talking with him through the fence of the reeducation place in occupied America he shouts this at them, thats where it came from.
Avenge me boys, AVENGE ME!!!

I tend to use "It's not rocket surgery", which usually results in a quizzical look

a dear friend and colleague who's sadly passed on and had loads of these which he'd often roll out in meetings to managers' bullshit

Don't piss in my pocket and tell me it's Perrier.

All your doing is moving deckchairs on the Titanic

Well, that'll go down about as good as a Shit Sandwich!

That maybe because it seems like an amalgamation of " It's not brain surgery" and "It's not rocket science"

An ex-colleague of mine, who was from Dundee and could be rather blunt, had a favourite phrase that I really liked:

"I hope your next shite's a hedgehog"

And here we go again with the misogyny.
Reference to a ladies vagina as a hippos yawn is a bit 1970.
