Do you use this word in your everyday life?

DITTO

By the way, what are the possible expressions in which it may occur?

Typically in lists in columns, an entry may say "ditto" or appear as "
(quotation marks, double apostrophes or inverted commas) meaning
the same value as in the previous row, or the one above that if it is also
a ditto.

It is also used to save repetition in a Q and A situation where the answer
would be the same as the answer to the previous question, in which case
one might say ditto.
