and one which i plan to adopt, from the original list : my neighbors will think i've gone completely round the bend when they hear me shouting "vade retro**, Beelzebug* !!"

*(n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

**which reminds me of a hilarious story a friend of mine once told me : apparently, as a child, she hadn't quite grasped the expression "vade retro" which we use in casual conversation to express extreme repugnance, and shouted out one day "va dans le métro !!" (get in the subway). hehehe !! that story still makes me laugh. "va dans le métro, satanus !!"
