Answer
Hi,

That's a toughy. If we don't want to get into subtext, the one phrase people will recognize is "I have many skills." And I believe there is an emphasis on 'many' - "I have MANY skills."

"I've cut of the flow of blood to your brain, you'll be dead in seconds unless I release you" - Unless you are doing the pinch... ;)

Of course, you can always try the Xena battle cry "ayiyiyiyi" but it's apparently pronounced "alalalala."

I hope that helps.
