A few family numbers..."Put your knickers on." used to ask someone to make a cup of tea. (From the Fast Show sketch with tough, uncompromising cop 'Monkfish' - who said to a rape victim "Stop crying, put your knickers on and go make us a cup of tea")
"Jive mags", i.e. magazines which encourage a spot of Hand Jiving.
"Sweet Zombie Jesus!" straight from Futurama.
