Ohmygod, I can’t think of any more. How about some of my favorite Lina-isms:
“I’m not likin’ that.”
“Put this off.” (Instead of “take this off.”)
“Dude! GO!” (Often said in traffic. No idea where she picked that one up.)
“Lily is smelly.” (Often true.)
“I love you and I like you.” (My personal favorite.)

Ina says “da doo” for Thank You too! And I agree, my favorite would be the “I love you and I like you.” Both so important.
