Some of my favorites are:

"It's good enough for government work", meaning the task wasn't done perfectly, but it will have to do.

"This is asses and elbows", meaning the project is disorganized or chaotic.

"Quit grab-assing", meaning stop fooling around. (My middle school gym teacher used to say this to us. I'm not sure why as I never actually saw anyone actually grabing anyones ass.)

"Time for a flogging", meaning someone did something wrong and they deserve a beating.
