Our history teacher used to screech "erm" in between saying things, so on a number of occasions, we took it upon ourselves to count the amount of times she did it. Similar story with our Geography teacher in Year 7 and possibly Year 8 (can't remember the exact date when she retired), except she used to make a tutting noise. We counted in excess of 300 in a 60-minute lesson once - you can do the maths to realise the torture!
There were a few characters at my school that had certain sayings. My mad Irish RE/Ethics teacher had a habit of saying a couple of things. "And so on and so forth" was said at the end of many sentences when he was explaining stuff, his other prominent saying being "shurrrrruuuup maaaaann".
There was also one of my business teachers who kept saying "I dare say", so we used to burst out laughing whenever he said it because we were anticipating it to be said.
An IT teacher has a habit of saying "I'm sick and tired" at more or less everything he complains about.
