my foot

I don't think

My foot is an interjection expressing disbelief or dismissal of what someone has just said.

It typically follows the disputed claim: Generous, my foot—he's the cheapest person I know.

The phrase suggests the speaker's foot is as credible as the claim being rejected.

British English uses my arse or my eye similarly.
