I was just thinking about the "you can't teach your granny to suck eggs" one.
When i was little, we had a family day out in Blackpool, me 'n' our kid had some spends on us which i used to buy the usual rubbish, candyfloss etc. For the life of me (and our kid) i cannot understand why, but he bought a pickled egg, never had one before but he bought it anyway. So there he was sucking the vinegar off this thing when he swallowed the flippin thing whole.
He was going purple and i nearly wet me keks laughing so hard.
Ahh good times.

I use them so much I don't even notice that I'm using them so difficult to regurgitate a selection here.
Sense I'll be back to this thread a few times as I notice what I'm saying but for now we'll start off with...
"Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining".
As in your telling me something that I know to be incorrect in such as way as to make it sound a fact.

You tend to notice them a bit more as we spend more time online nowadays.
You'll write something down and think that doesn't make any sense and wonder if you've made it up. Then it's right click on the phrase and off to Google to see if it is real.
"Haud yer wheesht" is one I thought I'd add. That's probably more of a regional expression than a phrase taken out of context.
