13. I just like using the word balls in a conversation
yesterday I was in the car with my aunt and her AC was broken...and I swear, at the exact same time we both sighed heavily and said "it is hot as balls out!" and then we laughed about it for a good 5 minutes

16. That'll go over like a fart in church
I'm also partial to the British expression 'chuffed' when happy about something and 'gobsmacked' when overwhelmed in a good way by something.

My all-time favorite phrase was from my college roommate, 'She's so ugly she could make a freight train take a dirt road'.
