I have this friend who has a unique style of phraseology. he has invented such wonderful phrases as:

"I work all the hours God Gives me, I work 7-11"
"Please do not misintend me"
"He is far too self contained"
"I never missrespect anyone".

I'm not sure if he chooses to speak that way deliberately but his style is certainly unique.

Does anyone know of any other phrases which are uniquely original?
