Couldn't resist... :)
I'm glad you're still there, Amanda, at least sort of.
Too bad I don't use expressions like that too often, so I always forget them. There's one that comes to mind, though:
"Pedal manually in British style football jog when clearing the area." -- The lieutenant who trained us to use explosives in the Navy used this expression. Stuck to at least my head permanently. Pedaling manually means something is done without (power) tools, vechicles or such. "Sir, if we had some kind of power saw to do this with...Let's pedal it manually, we don't have tools like that...Aye, sir."
There are bunches of others, but only remember them in some situations...I rather say something absurd to achive a humorous effect. Damn.
