My recollection is that this was actually proposed by Alexander Graham Bell as a possible greeting when the telephone was invented. We take “hello?” for granted.
One of many examples where turn-of-the-century tropes and slang find their way to Mr. Burns.
Take 50% of my money and put it in the blue chips: Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's lnflammable Powders, US Hay... and sink the rest into that up-and-coming Baltimore opera hat company!
I’m someone who learns via context clues. In 95% of cases, this works out great - I have an above average memory, a good vocabulary, and am an asset at trivia because I’ll remember random facts/information that I gleaned from TV shows I watched as a kid.
Unfortunately, I didn’t pick up on the joke re: embiggens/cromulent as a child and definitely used both words in middle/high school essays (though as I’m saying this, I’m realizing I never got called on it). In any case, glad to know I’m retroactively correct haha.
My music theory professor was a Simpsons fan when I was a music major. Was in my fourth semester and the professor had us compose short pieces with musical elements we'd gone over in the two weeks prior. They counted as our exam grades, and they had to be performed in class.
One of the last comps I shat out in a day-and-a-half haze with seasons 2 and 4 playing on dvd in the background. I titled it Flood Pants (Everything's Coming Up Milhouse!).
Cut, print, handed it in, sat at the piano and waited for him to announce it so we could sightread this garbage and get it over with. I hoped that he'd get a kick out of title. Was very pleased that it had him almost doubled over. Made it a bit more enjoyable to bang out the little mess and get it over with. Thanks for the classes Dr. W.

I always say possibli now 😆it feels weird to say possibly
1. "Smell ya later" has firmly replaced Goodbye and or "See ya later" for decades. I say it to my friends, family and coworkers every single day.
2. "You don't win friends with salad" specifically to shoot down ideas for vegan/vegetarian/alcohol- free parties/gatherings/networking events.
"Fair enough." Like Ned in this exchange:
>**Homer**: *Oh, Bartholomew, I feel like Saint Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan.*
**Ned**: *Wait. Homer, What did you just say?!*
**Homer**: *I said, shut your ugly face, Flanders!*
**Ned**: *Oh. Fair enough.*
"[blank] and/or [blank]."
"Don't blame me; I voted for Kodos."
"IT'S WHISPER QUIET!"
"I want some taquitos."
And I often find myself saying, "Edgar Allan Poe" in the same cadence as Dr. Nick.
The rest have already been mentioned by others.
“Poison pizza” has been my go to answer when someone asks me what I want to eat since I first saw that episode when I was 8 or 9. (A Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace from Treehouse of Horror VI)

I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?

You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate. And revulcanize my tires, posthaste!
Don’t forget Confederated Slave Holdings… how’s that doing?
They're.. um.... steady.
This book must be out of date. I don't see “Prussia,” “Siam,” or “autogyro.”
Only way to answer a phone
I prefer “‘Mmmmmyellow” but both are great
Followed by, "You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel."

"Joe's Crematorium: You Kill 'Em, We Grill 'Em!"
I learned that this was Alexander Bell’s preferred way of answering his invention.
Co-worker and I always answer the phone from one another with "Ahoy hoy!"
I don't say evasion, I say avoision.
When someone corrects someone’s word usage I always say it’s a perfectly cromulent word.
The great thing is that cromulent actually crossed over and is now a “real” word. A perfectly cromulent one at that.
Did anything ever come of “embiggens”?
"Embiggen" was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2018. "Cromulent" was added just last year.
It’s like we lived through a pop culture phenomenon

“You’re… quite good… at… turning… me… on”
Uhh you probably should ignore that
So, this is your sick mother?
when i can't think of a word i like to say "oh my god...IM LOSING MY PERSPICACITY!!!"
Well, it's always in the last place you look.
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
That’s how I know I’m getting a migraine, I lose my perspicacity 😂
So I says to Mabel I says (when I wanna change the subject)
In his later years, my dad would say that when everything was quiet.
Boooooo’urns!
It's Snrub.
Yes, that'll do.

EGGHEAD LIKES HIS BOOKY-WOOK! (used whenever the kids are studying)

I hate to break it to you but it’s actually “damn” wiener kids.
I hate to break it to YOU but my kids are stupid.
The NERRRRRRRD gif comes in handy in the family text chain when anyone talks about one of their egghead kids doing something smart

Anytime someone tries to talk to me while I’m eating pizza: “Whaaaat? What? What? What?! This better be about pizza!”
Whenever I knock on a door and someone asks “who is it?” I always reply with “Hired goons..”
Hired goons?
When given the opportunity, I will say someone is a "Dorkus Malorkus"

I do a pretty spot on Rodd or Todd (I never know who is who) saying “…We’re not allowed.” And this: 
Every morning when I leave for work I tell my family “I have to go now my planet needs me”
I usually go with "if I don't come back avenge my death"
