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 need to go number 1.

[–] AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Shut up Wesley.

I tend to say “Scanning for life forms” in a sing-song voice while searching through a large file.

[–] newsonaut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Unknown at this time.

I'm a big fan of "Find him and kill him!" along with "Death to the opposition".

So many great Worf quotes from DS9

The one with Kaylar (the one about the old ship) has some great worf lines.

K: "You're not even looking at me."

W: "I am familiar with your appearance."

Michael Dorn has spent 30+ years delivering deadpan one-liners and I love him for it.

Takes a bit of context...

I used to LARP.
At the game I played, I became leader of one of the five Baronies of our in-game nation.
We would have barony meetings on the regular...
...at which I used to have to struggle not to give the order to "make it so."

It's just... so perfect a turn of phrase it's hard not to use. But memeing in-game is bad.

"There must be a logical explanation, Captain."

[–] irdc@derp.foo 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same on the eyebrow raise, but instead like Seven of Nine.

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

Nice! That reminds me of, "resistance is futile." I am seldom in a situation to use it, though. Which is probably a good thing. Last time I regularly used it was when my cats were kittens and I needed to clean their faces. Now that they are grown, yeah, resistance isn't futile when it comes to cleaning their faces.

With my old colleagues I was able to share some Shaka moments whenever our walls fell. And today I was worried about the structural integrity of our whiteboard.

[–] jmp242@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly, no. I've never quoted Star Trek without intentionally being in "Star Trek Fan" mode. I know, not exciting, but true.

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, someone's got to be there for the Star Trek fans when the situation needs a non-Star Trek response. IDIC. Thank you for expanding the definition of "what is a Star Trek fan." 🖖

"c'est la vie"

Kirk says it in Star Trek III.

Sorry about your crew, but as we say on Earth, c'est la vie.

When most people would use a sort of praying gesture (in contexts such as "Come on , score!") I for some reason use the Ferengi equivalent instead.

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

I confess that some of my emails about the project status sent to my manager was just entitled "Status Report".
