My old instructor used to say "Tits East & West!" and told me to imagine I was riding a tube of toothpaste lol 
Just for a laugh - most ridiculous thing you've heard an instructor saying...

When I first started to ride "Your legs are rubbish, like 2 bits of string with knots tied in them"
And from a male instructor years ago when cantering. "Make love to the saddle, go on really grind yourself in" OO-ER

Just passing through...
There's definately a theme developing here.... 
I worked at a, then, well known and snobby equestrian centre. Head Girl was giving a private lesson to a girl, who's terribly well off and pompous and very well spoken Mother was watching. Girl couldn't get the hang of the canter, so instructor, very well spoken Scottish lady, yelled "Act as though you're making love to the saddle!". Girl got it straight away. Mother looked terribly pleased - for about the ten seconds it took for the realization to dawn on her (daughter was fifteen....). Made us howl for weeks that one 
D2 would say it was when Little Lad was bombing off with her at some speed up the drive towards the stable yard (think hard concrete, hard brick walls, just generally hard everything!), and I was yelling "Sit up and relax, sit deep into the saddle!".
As for me, it will be when mad instructor points to a cross-country fence on Sunday and says "Just hop that one"
