I used to do karate, before I got hurt and had to have an operation, and my former instructor used to ask me to pair up with the other black belt candidates on their gradings to 'put them over' to the panel. Basically, as part of the exam, I used to have to spar with the candidate and because I was a higher grade than them I had to job to them in front of the examiners, making it look as convincing as possible. Nearly always worked. This is how I used to describe it to my friends and the non-wrestling fans were always very confused.
There are no instances I can think of where I have used a wrestling slogan or catchprase in real life, but I am a supply teacher (I think Americans call this a sub) at the moment and there was one other occasion where I walked into a classroom and said in front of a new class that I had spoken to their regular teacher who had said what a lovely class they were to teach. A few of the girls genuinely cheered, to which one of the boys looked at me and said: 'That was such a cheap pop, Sir'. Made me laugh out loud!
