Whoops sorry, I meant to say what rusty said, "I ask your pardon"
rusty explica it better than me

Solo algo consejo

I know, I can say, forgive me or I ask your pardon, but they are both same.

Yes your right forgive me is alot more common though. I ask your pardon, is correct english

A couple hundred years ago in England (Inglaterra), where english has changed and people don't use it much anymore

One could call
I ask your pardon
"Old English"
I dont know any sayings that were spoken long ago in spanish but Im sure you can relate

I've been learnt "I beg your pardon", too. Isn't it correct?

Yes, its correct

Pardon me

forgive me
I ask your forgiveness
I ask for your pardon

They are all correct, the bold ones are more common though.

Back to the original question of this thread; spanish slangs...
¿Qué dices?, ¡No me digas! significan lo mismo?

Yes, they're the equivalent of "you don't say!"
