“Must have been a lie”: As a response to someone saying, “I forgot what I was going to say,” or something similar. The meanest thing this woman ever said, and now I say it, too. Enough that my boyfriend said it to me last week, and my brain broke.

What the Sam Hill?!: I grew up saying "What in the Sam Hill" instead of "what the hell" and never knew there was an actual Sam Hill (apparently so legendarily profane that people swapped in his name for all the swear words when they repeated his stories) until I accidentally happened on a historical marker about him last summer in Marshall, Michigan (a truly fabulous small town).

“It’s darker than the inside of a cow!”: Started with my grandma, and then my mom, and I’ve caught myself saying it too. It gets quite the reaction 😂
