My step daughter often tells our cat to bugger off. Ah, the English influence

Expressive Phrases
I'm a "shit" person myself - use it lots.
Still use Bugger it, Bloody 'ell (American Neighbour now uses that one).
Have told AT&T and MCI Worldcom to **** Off before now, but my Mum's "I'll wash your mouth out with soap" threats seem to have worked in later years, and I don't feel comfortable using that one. Have to be really mad to say it! Usually prefer to say 'Sod You' or the one that I particularly like using over here - Piss Off - seems to go over their heads somehow

especially that MCI worldcom one...they are very annoying and have had a few choice words with them myself.
Also calling a yank a wanker followed by the five knuckle shuffle hand sign usually baffles them really good and proper and have no idea what you are doing

Son spent the first year or so over here telling ALL the school kids he was pals with what it meant, spent the rest of the time 'using' the expression - they're getting to know about it now, a few have taken exception
Hubby does a lot of explaining words at work - the 'Yanks' have a new toy now....
Rather surprised that following WW2 it didn't become -
The Yanks -- Over sexed, Over paid, and Over here, - WHAT YANKERS
Ouch
