"I should cocoa," meaning, sarcastically, "I should think so." It comes from that bewildering rhyming slang that the Brits, the Aussies and the Kiwis employ. "Yeah, I'll take a Richard Gere!" "Hm?" "I'll take a beer." "Oh. Sure! No prob'! But...oh."

I do like "I should cocoa" though. But I always thought it referred to crapping your pants at something.

I like "beyond the pale", meaning completely unacceptable.

Donnybrook - I love that word because its meaning and its visual image are so incongruent.

"Aw, Christ on a cross!" ....I say that one a lot. I'm probably going to hell though, so whatever.
