What a fun topic!
I'd say some of the ones we use the most are quotes from people we know that were part of humorous interactions.
Some favorites:
"My brain all fuzzy"
"You know I need the weekend"
A couple other phrases that that I enjoy hearing a lot:
"Hoogle it" (A mashup of my name and Google because the guys realized that if you wonder something out loud, I'll look it up and tell you the answer if I don't already know it)
"That needs to be put in the fun folder" (Funny screenshots or photos from our projects or conversations that we keep in a folder titled "fun" on our server)

Subject: Words or sentences you hear most often at work?
In my office:
- Before the pandemic, on Skype: "Can you hear me?"
- After the pandemic, on Teams: "You are on mute !!!" xD
How about you?
