I’m working hard to bring back the expression “HOT DOG!” when things are going well in your life, much like a young George Bailey in It’s A Wonderful Life.
Dadgummit. I’ve always loved dadgummit.
“Wait a minute, Mother, let me get that for you.”
“Going down, Mr, Beast?”

“Lord love a duck!”
I don’t even know exactly what it means, but it sure is fun to say. (I think it’s along the lines of “Oh my goodness,” isn’t it?)
“I don’t give a flying fig about…”
“Great googly-moogly!”
“Alas and alackaday, that ever I was born…” (OK, maybe not.)
“You’re welcome” instead of “No problem.”
“May I take your plate?” instead of “You still workin’ on that?”
“Welcome to Taco Bell. May I take your order?” instead of <slack-jawed stare>
“Well shave my head and call me baldy!”
“Who’d of thought it woulda done that?”
“Great googly-moogly!”
Gee Willikers!
“Lord love a duck!”
Dadgummit

“well, honk my hooter!”
“Sure, I’ll sleep with you!”

When describing something large it should always be called, “A big, f**k-off, ________”.
And more people here on the SDMB should use the phrase, “Pissed off wolverines” - I get lonely being the only one who does so.
well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!
goodnight little fishies!!!..used after stubbing one’s toe on the bed, or shutting one’s finger in the car door, etc.
ok, maybe that one was only used around my house, but i’m willing to share with the rest of the world…
Sugarbritches or conversely, sugarpants.
That reminds me…“sillybritches”.
Land 'O Goshen!
I started saying that as a joke, now I can’t help it.
