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?
@Nmyownworld Whenever I have solved some weird tech issue, my first instinct is to throw my hands up and shout “Qapla’!”
(It’s the pose from the end of Goldeneye, so I am clearly aware of how quickly my fortune can turn.)
He’s actually practicing saying nuqneH. nuqneH means “what do you want” literally but is a form of greeting in klingon while Qapla’ means goodbye, good luck, or bon voyage.
