I have a few. One is "That's what I always tell them", sometimes followed by "but they don't listen" usually when being insulted or critiqued. I'm also a big fan of saying "why not?" when someone asks me "why?". The other doesn't translate to English very well. I guess "huzzah!" or "commendations!" are close, but they don't capture the tone and how obscure the original is.

"Enorabuena!" It's used in some countries, but is extremely rare in mine.
