I haven't heard mention of the one my old Irish boss uses to say all the time:
"you 'n' yours".  I haven't heard it again since and that was in the 
mid-seventies so perhaps it was his own invention.  I remember it always used 
to crack me up because he had a particularly strong Irish accent and when he 
said that he sounded, for some reason, like he was trying to say it with a 
heavy southern drawl that didn't come out quite right.
