Anthony Scaramucci was White House Communications Director for just 10 days, since July 21, but managed to develop a cult of personality in his short time in the spotlight.

Mr Scaramucci's 1980s boardroom slang, strong language, frequent references to his blue-collar Long Island childhood and ability to conjure up impactful mental images - as well as his acrimonious divorce - have helped him garner headlines across the world.

Here are a few of his best quotes:

1. "Do you know how many congressional liaisons we are going to have? I don’t either, but I told Pence, it should be four times whatever Obama had. I don’t know how many he had, but I’m telling you that didn’t work out."

2. Talking to a reporter: “How old are you? You look good. No lines on your face. What are you, a Sagittarius?”

"I’m a Leo."

“F***ing king of the jungle!”

3. "Let's go get a steak sometime," said while throwing his arm around a reporter who visited Mr Scaramucci at the West Wing.

4. "You're from New York, I'm from New York, the president is from New York."

5. "You know what this nation is? It's a disruptive start-up. It was a group of rich guys that got together and said 'you know what? We're going to break away from the other countries and start our own country.'"

6. "I said to the president this morning, I can't afford to be a sycophant to you."

7. "I can tell you two fish that don't stink. That's me and the president. "

8. "One of the things I can't stand about this town is the back-stabbing. Where I grew up we’re front-stabbers."

9. "Let's get the gun on the bird and talk about what's going on."

10. "I speak with the right pronouns. It's 'we' and 'our.' It's never 'me' or 'I.'"

11. “Reince is a f***ing paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said. Doing an impression of him, he added: “‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the f***ing thing and see if I can c**k-block these people the way I c**k-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’"

12. “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own c**k.”

13. "I was teasing you. It was sarcastic. It was one Italian to another."

14. ".@SHSanders45 killing it from the podium! Hair and make up is on me going forward as long as you don't take all my hairspray!"

15. “Let me tell you something about myself. I am a straight shooter.”
