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?

In my best Janeway voice: "DEW IT."

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

Unconsciously adopted a Jadzia Dax's thinking walk with hands holding behind back.

I use "colorful metaphors" and "double dumbass on you" far too often.

I quote Darmok quite a bit, usually Picard's "Gilgamesh, a King. At Uruk" line.

Highly illogical.

I'm a doctor, not an [insert appropriate role].

Referring to something as "banjaxed ".

I have been told I do a head cocking gesture exactly the way Data does it.

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.

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.

Warp speed ahead. I use this when I have a task that I just want to get over with.

I tend to hum TOS' fight music when doing chores around the house. This one:

"There must be a logical explanation, Captain."

There are some things I've done in my life, some choices I've made, maybe even some bridges I've burned where when the dust settles and I'm thinking about it I have said out loud:

"I can live with it. I CAN live with it."

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

[-] zarmanto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don’t know why this is, but I have always been able to raise my right eyebrow independently… but not my left one. It’s kinda funny, because one of my son’s friends just randomly asked me if I could do that earlier this evening. I did so, and he made like it was this really big deal.

I’m just glad I could amuse him.

[-] oillut@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

That's interesting; wonder if people have dominant eyebrows similar to dominant hands and eyes

[-] SaintWacko@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] MajorasMaskForever@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

So many great Worf quotes from DS9

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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."

"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.
