When describing a 'fuller-figured' lady - "Expecting a tough winter"
'Double-Chalker' I quite liked - in recognition of the need for a SOCO officer to use two sticks of chalk to the mark the outline of where they fell!

"You'll miss me when I'm gone" I uttered a few times at my last place of employment to receive a chorus of "Oh no we won't" and a few giggles from the assembled masses at the monthly board/project meetings.

I then left and they did actually miss me as they then all realised the sh!t I dealt with and covered off on their behalf because I knew none of them actually had the ability to manage it and make progress - mostly know it all millennials.

"Weapons grade bell end" was another I used when I found out who had been appointed to my role rofl
