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?

    Whenever I just slightly win, I shout “Qa’pla!”. Whenever I get really competitive I say “Today is a good day to die.” I also use petaQ.

    I know this isn’t really a mannerism or phrase, but whenever a shocking turn/twist happens I’ve been known to hum the Balance of Terror theme.

    Edit: Also the hissy “feeeeeeemales” whenever someone casually calls women “females”. Thanks @catshit_dogfart@lemmy.world
