"I do not know" is the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom.

I admire this statement and it heavily influences my thinking.

Everybody remember where we parked

When we're gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I'll call my husband back to the game with, "Play dom-jot, hew-mon!" but I never stab him if he's cheating.

Anytime in online discourse whenever I see some Incel refer to “females” I always ready it in the ferengi voice. Quite appropriate too

I say “Fascinating.” a bit too often.

A fair bit of “Oh my!” al a Sulu too

Besides that, “shut up Wesley” is a common retort in our house hold.

Whenever I wake up my computer I saw a little "Hello Computer".

I work for an MSP and I often multiply my time estimates by a factor of four.... Does that count?

"He's dead, Jim."

“IT’S A GOOD DAY TO DIE!”

I deal with anxiety. One of the best ways to manage and even help make it better is to embrace the anxious situation head on and dive in, welcome the challenge. No one does that better than Klingons.

It is completely possible to do everything right and still fail, its not weakness, it's life.

Anytime I see or hear the word "females" when speaking about a woman, I can't help but say - feeee-malesss - in a hissing and lecherous voice.

Also I like this Patak brand of curry, and I think "p'takh" every time I open the jar.

I adjust my shirt/sweater like Picard when he gets up.

I tend to do the Spock eyebrow raise quite a bit without thinking about it, to the point that people I know will ask if it's on purpose.

I also will use "fascinating" and I tend to insert logical or illogical into sentences.

Worf's "It is not funny, but I get it" is something I throw in as well.

If I'm in "Star Trek Mode" I'll use various Klingon phrases, along with the Vulcan salute as greeting. My wife and I will at times text in Klingon. There's other stuff as well, but not as common!

I have said "belay that order" to my google assistant so many times and they still haven't figured it out.

Not me but my friend always say "Engage!" when he activates his electric recliner.

@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.)

Sometimes, my wife and I will make a comment to each other that makes perfect sense between the two of us, but to outside observers sounds like absolute gibberish. When one of us realizes this, we'll follow it up with, "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra." Then folks get really confused.

When I drive and the missus is in the passenger seat and I have to break harder than usual because an idiot in front of me, I sometimes yell "Brace for impact!"

It's a little on the nose, considering my display name and avatar, but, "That's a stupid question!"

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

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

Not something i do, but this thread reminded me of my intense desire to end up in a situation where i can shout COMPUTER TURN OFF THAT NOISE

Two Spock quotes that have become ingrained:

“I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.”

• TOS: “The Squire of Gothos”

“I do not approve. I understand.”

• TOS: “A Taste of Armageddon”

Live long and prosper

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

Tea, Earl Grey, hot!

I need to go number 1.
