"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
- I use this one frequently. That and "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
- That's mine too. The dudiest way to diffuse the situation lol
- My go to.

“Shut the fuck up Donnie. You’re out of your element.”
- You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie

"The Dude abides"

I dunno my favorite, but my most used in daily conversation is…
“Careful, man - there’s a beverage here!”
- https://lebowski.social/post/65280

“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”
He’s not wrong.

It really brought the whole room together
- Did it not.
  
  Fuck, the "Did it not" is so good as well!

You're being very undude, dude

I love how the dude uses phrases that he picks up earlier in the film.
"This aggression will not stand"
"You mean, coitus?"
There are a bunch more but those 2 immediately spring to mind.
- "in the parlance of our time" gets a repeat. The Dude never actually has an original thought except once: when he says that Bunny kidnapped herself.
- "Johnson?"
- That's fantastic.

"Look, nothing is fucked, here, man."
"Nothing is fucked? The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!"
- Oh dude this is such a good one.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Always make me laugh.
Second place is when the cop beans his mug off The Dude's face.
Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski! Stay out of Malibu, deadbeat! Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community.

The Stranger: Do you have to use so many cuss words?
The Dude: What the fuck you talking about?
Also:
Walter: Smokey, this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.
One more:
Walter: Am I wrong?
The Dude: You're not wrong Walter; you're just an asshole.

Too many to choose a favourite off the top of my head:
Brother Seamus? Like an Irish monk?
Yeah, yeah, I get it, fuck off Da Fino. And stay away from my special - from my fucking lady friend, man!
- It's ok to have more than one, I should have said that :o
  And those are great.
- If I spoke English I would use special lady and lady friend all the time!!!

I am the walrus?
- Donny.
- about that

- later in the same dialogue, Walter refers to him as the Chinaman again 😆

"He fixes the cable?"
- Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.

You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.

Nihilists? Fuck me... Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

New shit has come to light!

This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.
Or something sounding like that. Something similar.

-You know, he's got emotional problems, man.
-You mean... beyond pacifism?
-He's fragile. Very fragile.
-Huh... I did not know that.
- Also:
  -Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?
  -No Donny, these men are cowards.
  
  Last one:
  Oh man, my thinking about this case had become very uptight.

"I'm finishing my coffee"

"Obviously, you're not a golfer"
"It's down there somewhere, let me take another look"

Calmer than you are
