What Star Trek Mannerism or Phrase Do You Often Use (startrek.website)

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?

I say “Fascinating.” a bit too often.

A fair bit of “Oh my!” al a Sulu too

Besides that, “shut up Wesley” is a common retort in our house hold.

Oh my gosh, yes. "Oh my" is great. I'm laughing at the thought of using "fascinating" as shorthand for, "Whatever, I long since stop listening, but I'm too polite to ask you to stop talking."

I hate Wesley Crusher.

I impersonate Picard and trash talk Wesley all the time to my wife.
