Not Quite "Old Testament Enough"
Somewhat Fuzzier on the Subject of Kneecaps
Supernatural Straight Shooter
Phone Call from Uncle
Midas Voice
You Know, Like the Punisher
Hey, I Got A System
Colleens are Gonna be the Death of Me
Big Damn Heroes!
I Don’t Miss Much
I Am Inveeeeeencible!!!!!!
Ninja Academy Drop Out
“An’ it harm none, Do what ye will”
Thinks with his Fists
Ancient Foe of God And Mortals
Sees Much, Hears More
Craptacular Self Image
Napoleon Complex
Ragabash Get of Fenris
(Lawbreaker) I hate it when my patients die
I’m Just Cool Like That
Discretion is the only part of Valor

And that's just the characters.... :)

There's an Aspects page over on the wiki, and an Aspects thread on the Resources board.

Y'all should feel free to add your Aspects to them.

One from our sadly short campaign, Aspect of local university: Cradle of knowledge and Knowledge.
You could find all kinds of interesting stuff from libraries and such if you knew where to look.

Here are a few I'm using or considered:

Knight who says "knee!"
Duck, duck, goose
Is that honor with an "or" or and "our"?
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
You can't always get what you want.
It can't get any worse.
I *am* the monkey wrench.
Is that a gun in your pocket, or...

Campaign hasn't started just yet, but I'll add some that I like from my player's characters, NPC's, and the city

One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer
Crabs For Change (Must... Not... Be... Juvenile...)
Reckless Pixie Prince (can't help but laugh at that one)
Old Testament Justice
All-In-One Beauty and Beast
I'm Not a Real Doctor, But I Play Like One
I May Have Mother Issues
My Father's Sense of Humor Is My Doom (The character's name is Benedict Iscariot, think about it)
What Did You Say?!
The Only Monsters Out There Are Us Humans
A Good Christian Girl, Right?
The Road To Hell is Paved With Good Intentions
A man once told me death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.

Do you think a man can change his destiny?
I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed to him.

May the best day of your past, be the worst day of your future.

That one I always like - has so very many possibilities, and fits a lot of people.

Yeah, Unfortunately it is on my main NPC, so it won't be as good as if it were on a PC... but, still something I can use well.

My personal favorite that I've played with (and I'm super new to the game) is...

"Rebel says what?" - Problem with authority, not subtle about it.  I have basically discovered this is a license to print fate points for my snarky-ass self.

Just read this one over at http://dfrpg-resources.wikispaces.com/

Frak you, I'm a Sea Serpent.

(It just jumped out at me from the list. I have no idea what it means, but I kind of love it!)

My two favorites that I have used are:

Here There Be Monsters- on a sailor who has the soul of the Leviathan living in his head

At The Bottom Was Hope- the keeper of Pandora's Box

For a Russian Pyromancer I played: In Soviet Russia, fire light YOU!

For a badass semi-human monster hunter: The Abyss Blinked. (Neitzche reference)

"If you can't talk to the authorities, talk to the Wardens.  Can't talk to them, call me."
My Purity score: 37.2.  Sad.

I think the one I had most fun with was a camp counselor with the following Aspects and powers.

HC:  The All-Seeing Perve
I Spy, with my Third Eye

Trouble: Curiosity Killed the Cat

He of course had the powers of the Sight, and Supernatural Senses allowing him to see through drywall, plywood and wood planks...
Kill the Child, Doom the World...  Or is it, Kill the Child, Save the World?

I've got a few from some PCs and NPCs in my game.

"I Know Things That Know Things" - Contacts with the supernatural, also useful or intimidation or bonuses to lore.
"A Dark and Stormy Knight" - For a Summer-aligned storm knight.
"Sword and Sorcery" - I'm a huge fan of D&D, and I've used this one for a few Wardens.
"My Higher Authority Trumps Your White Council" - a Religion inspired wizard who follows his own path.
"Conscience Is A Sh!tty Navigator" - Excuse the profanity, but I've used this one to complicate so much in my game. Really, really rolling in the FP.
"No Use Crying Over Spilled Malk" - used to pretty awesome effect by a Malk Changeling
"Rage Against The..." - Used by my White Court rage vampires. I love me some music inspired aspects.
"Shoot First, Shoot Later, Shoot Some More And Then When Everybody's Dead Try To Ask A Question Or Two" - A long aspect that I used for a gunslinger with the Ghost Speaker power. It pretty much summed up the character's outlook on negotiations.
"Onward Tiny Metal Horses!" - Used by an Elf Sidhe, Lord Chibbitz. He believes that the horse power in an "auto coach" means the vehicle is powered by tiny metal horses.
The entire Red Court was taken down by the new Winter Knight? From the lowliest pawn all the way up to the King? *puts on sunglasses* Knight to G7. Check mate.
