I worked hard at imitating the Leonard Nimoy Spock's raised eyebrow for quite a while. I don't regret the time spent practicing that in front of a mirror. I never mastered a fully raised eyebrow, but I can do a slight eyebrow raise.

Whenever someone is being greedy or acting a fool, I say, "hoo-man," in a bad Ferengi accent.

Jean-Luc Picard's "make it so" is a go to phrase for me.

My first sip of coffee for the day is always my Janeway moment.

When someone says something far fetched, I say "really." I think I'm channeling Benjamin Sisko. No one else sees it that way.

I say "p'takh" a bit too often. Not to anyone who understands Klingon. Not yet, anyway.

Any Star Trek mannerism or phrase you've incorporated into your life?

"He's dead Jim"

@Nmyownworld Whenever I have solved some weird tech issue, my first instinct is to throw my hands up and shout "Qapla'!"

(It's the pose from the end of Goldeneye, so I am clearly aware of how quickly my fortune can turn.)

I work for an MSP and I often multiply my time estimates by a factor of four.... Does that count?

Ah, yeah, web dev here. We call it, "Scotty Time."

Industrial maintenance here, I try and give only Starfleet Estimates when management sniffs around for their broken-ass machines back.

When we're gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I'll call my husband back to the game with, "Play dom-jot, hew-mon!" but I never stab him if he's cheating.

I never stab him if he's cheating.

So you're not fully committed, ok.

Whenever I wake up my computer I saw a little "Hello Computer".

Everybody remember where we parked

Every time I hear that phrase I think of whale songs.

[–] triktrek@startrek.website 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I must confess that I don't get the reference. Where was this from?

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@triktrek@startrek.website

It's from the film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).

When I drive and the missus is in the passenger seat and I have to break harder than usual because an idiot in front of me, I sometimes yell "Brace for impact!"

My missus would be VERY put out if I yelled that in the car...
