heh, heh, in ear training class in university the students shared 
around among themselves the phrase "Pass the god-damn butter", which 
I would not expect you to tell your son if he is under the age of 
majority. (He's probably heard worse, but not from a sanctioned 
source like his dad.)

We had some quite vulgar ones for certain other memory tricks. Though 
nothing quite beat Elmer Fudd's "I'm hunting a wabbit" for getting 
the trombone rhythm right in the Ride of the Valkyries.
