The phrase is "the odd _______"
It just says that something happened occasionally but not frequently.

All the sentences I can think of are pretty similar to the one you have.
"I've had the odd conversation with him on occasion but nothing substantial."
"We've had the odd meeting in the elevator, but that's about it."
Note: You have to use "the odd _______"
If you say "an odd _________" it has an entirely different meaning.
It means the meeting, conversation [or whatever] was strange.

Q:
How do you say this in English (US)? how can I use the word whosever and whatsoever in the sentences?
A:
Do you mean 'whosoever'? 'whosoever' is a very old form of 'whoever', you will almost never hear it in normal conversation anymore. 'whatsoever' is a very old form of 'whatever', you will hear it in a few common phrases:
A: "Do you know what's happening?"
B: "I have no idea whatsoever." [this simply adds emphasis to "I have no idea.", you could substitute 'at all', but 'whatsoever' just gives the sentence a better rhythm.]
A: "Do you want to hear the new rules?"
B: "I'm not interested in any rules whatsoever." [again, it simply adds emphasis to '... any rules'. Here, '.... any rules at all." sounds fine.
But in common speech, we now use the word 'whatever':
"I'm happy to do whatever you want to do."
'whosoever' is almost never used in conversation, it has been replaced by 'whoever':
"Whoever is the last person to leave, please turn out the lights."
I hope this makes sense, most English speakers have never said 'whosoever' in their lives!

Other questions about "Word"
Q:
I'm wondering if the word "to stagger" as in "Let's stagger our work hours so we don't all start working at the same time tomorrow." is common/colloquial enough for native American English speakers to often say in their day-to-day casual conversations.
If it isn't, could you tell me more common/colloquial alternatives, please?
For example, how about "to move around" like "Let's move around our work hours so we don't all start working at the same time tomorrow."

For example, how about "to move around" like "Let's move around our work hours so we don't all start working at the same time tomorrow."

I think stagger makes sense. All native speakers should know exactly what you mean and it isn't too uncommon of a word that it sounds unnatural or too formal.
