En fín Serafín
 
Hay en inglés rimas con nombres como en español para transmitir una idea , os cito algún ejemplo, si alguien sabe alguno más que los ponga, either in Spanish or in English :

1. En fín Serafín
2. Echa el freno, madaleno = Hold your horses !
3.

1. See you later, aligator
2. In a while crocodile
Not sure if people still use those two though? :)

3. No way, Jose



By the way in Dutch we would say e.g.
- Hasta la pasta
- Auf wiederschnitzel (play on words in German, auf wiedersehen= see you/ wiener schnitzel)

Sure do, tennis shoe.
Yes, I do, kangaroo.
Not too soon, baboon.
Okeedokee, artichokee.
Give a hug, ladybug.
Take care, teddy bear.
Chop-chop, lollipop.
Bye-bye, French fry.
Time to squirm, wiggle worm.

Wave good-bye, butterfly.
So long, King Kong.

¿Me entiendes Mendes?
No way José.

Mexican slang has a collection of them, but now I can only remember two:

Longer version of Poli's: "¿Me entiendes, Méndez o te explico, Federico?"

Nel pastel. (No way)
