Then there's the paraphrase, "Sure no, S***lock." That acted almost like a little temporary emotional reset button on someone who was in desperate need of one. I don't know how many times I defused her with that one (the first instance was, of course, a fluke, and I wasn't the one uttering it), but it was pretty handy at times. (The times when I wasn't so sick of it that I'd say something hurtful instead, knowing it would hurt -- my bad, but my patience isn't up to saint-level, never has been. Really.)
