These are all so cool. I would love to have a signature trick, but I'm not creative enough to come up with one.
In the park, I use "By Me" to indicate he should stay in my general vicinity. He's got really good recall, but I was having trouble with him repeatedly heading back over to what I called him away from in the first place. Which makes perfect sense: either he gets to do something naughty, or Mommy will call him back and give him a treat!
I also use "All Done" in the park to indicate he's on his own time and can go do whatever he wants (as opposed to "Okay", which means, you're good for that one command, but keep paying attention to me). I've tried to use "All Done" indoors to indicate we're finished with training / giving out treats, but he always hopes I don't really mean it.
