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?
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.
