Then think of how you would feel if you won't ever have the chance to get what
it is you really really want again. Ever ever ever! Don't worry about how it sounds, focus on how it feels.

I got nuthin'. All I keep thinking of is the "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" ads.

I am not very experienced at begging, but I've been asked a few times, "What would you do for it (whatever the "it" was at the time)?" or "How badly do you want it?" For example:

Dom: Do you want _____?
Sub: Yes, Sir.
Dom: I'd like to hear you beg for it.
Sub: Please, Sir, please!
Dom: How badly do you want it?
Sub: (This is where I get lost. Obviously, I want it bad, but just saying that sounds so lame.)
Dom: If you want it so badly, what would you do to get it?
Sub: (Again, I get lost. The first thing that pops into my head, of course, is "I'll do anything," but that's not really a genuine answer, IMO.)

I'm not looking for an answer, per se, but ideas from where I can pull my answer, if that makes sense.

Perhaps you can talk with your dom and find out if fantastical offers for that moment are acceptable.

What that taught us is that I need directions so now he'll ask me if I'll do x for it which tells me this is what he wants to hear. And after him asking me this sort of thing for a while, I now have some stock phrases that will occur to me and that I'm sure he'll like.

It's not always about WHAT you say, but HOW you say it.
I use to whine a lot as a kid, whining is obnoxious, so I learned to turn that into more appealing tones as I matured. Begging is the same idea, it's not what you say but your presentation. Tone of voice, expression, the position you're in, the full body language and movements. When they want you to beg, they want you to beg SEXY, not obnoxiously. Work on it in private, it's definitely a learned behavior and probably won't feel 'natural' at first.

Tone of voice - small, vulnerable, -wanting-.
Expression - anywhere from demure to desperate, tearful of batting lashes.
Body - Any physical position that he finds both arousing and submissive to him, on knees, belly, standing meekly with head down, whatever specific pose rings his bell.

When they ask what you'd do for it... treat it like a bartering match at a market... a bartering match you intend to lose, badly. The idea of begging, is to make your D feel empowered, to that end, find out what things do that for him.
