Asking just for fun--you don't have to be Wiccan or Pagan to answer, but I would prefer the insults be kept to a minimum.
I like to say "Oh my Gods," "Gaia forbid," and "Thank the Gods." I use the abbreviations OMGs and TTG online. Occasionally when speaking on Witchy topics, I use a triplemoon emoticon, like so )O(, or put a Witch hat on my smiley face <]:-)
Have you heard, read, or used any other good Wiccan/Pagan expressions? Do you try to "talk Pagan" in real life?

mp n bb's as a goodbye, short for merry part and bright blessings
mm - merry meet
bb - blessed be
ahhh wiccans :p
Playgan chatters (yes, I too have seen the craft, no I can't help you cast a glamour, no, I won't brew you a love potion)
Namaste seems to be popping up everywhere these days too.
Goddess bless - for those who dare to be different.

They are not slang terms but exclamations. I use "My Dear Gods." My mother often says; "Dear(est) Gods in The Heavens above." I also say; "Thank The Gods," "The Gods are great." Also said in my family; "By The Gods." "Praise to You Dear Gods." Said by High Priests and High Priestesses at wedding ceremonies in my religion; "The Gods on High." Of course there is; "Gods forbid," or "(Dear) Gods help/forgive me." Also; "Praise The Gods."
I was raised as a heathen/pagan so these have always been natural for me. I was taught to following The Gods fully one must do so in everything you say and everything you do. So by calling upon The Gods you invite Them to be in your life

Haha, I always use oh my Gods and thank Gods!! Also online I type OMGs always :)
And I say Gods instead of gosh.
Sometimes, If I really want to exagerate I'd say by the great Odin's ravens! or by the hammer of Thor! ;)

I have used BB online, but only for certain situations. I have said "thank the gods", but it's not something I try to do in real life... just comes out that way. I don't say "Oh my Gods" or even use that in the singular "Oh my God"... But I have said "Holy ****" does that count?

I don't try to talk pagan, but I suppose I do. I always say "Good goddess!" I love the looks I get LOL "I swear to the gods" gets used when irked.

"By Thor."
"Heil the Gods" when leaving someone, instead of goodbye.
My speech pattern includes a peppering of Old Norse words.
I don't really try to do it, it's more habit.
When frustrated, however, I still turn to the Abrahamic with, "Jumping Jesus on a pogo cross!"
So... eh...

Sometimes when things go wrong, I say "Loki's been a busy guy." Or when someone's hung over, I say "Looks like Thor hammered you."
My favorite is "Your god was nailed on a cross, my god carries a hammer - any questions?"

I really do say "merry meet", "merry part", and "blessed be". I sometimes use goddess in place of god. my avatar in chat is a witch hat with a W.
