I missed the train....

I think all these three expressions have the same meaning. If I'm wrong then please correct me and the sentences as well. Can I use this expression "????????'??/????'?? ?????????????? ??????" instead of them?


1) I missed the train, as well I might.

= I missed the train and it's typical of me. = I missed the train and it's as usual.
2) He failed the exam, as well he might. = He failed the exam and it's typical of him. = He failed the exam and it's as usual.
3) She slapped him across the face, as well she might.
= She slapped him across the face and it's typical of her. = She slapped him across the face and it's as usual.

#TIA

Try the rhetorical "What's new!". However, that's (usually) said by another person, not by the speaker themselves (unless they're talking to themselves).

No. Use "... as usual" in
