Make your own "Go to Warp" command

I quite like Chekov's one in Star Trek V: "Warp Speed, Now!" and the clenched fist he does. Not saying that's mine, but I do like it a bunch.
 
Then there's Jellico's version, useful if you have an android first officer who can do mind bending calculations in milliseconds

"Mr. Data, I would like to be at [desired destination] in [indicated time interval]."

And Data gets it done.

Speaking of Data, I always thought he should've slipped his own slant in there, when he was filling in at the captain post. His "Engage" should've been "Implement".

BTW, Kurn was the 1st one to coin "Execute" & IMHO dropped it the best
 
"Let's stretch her legs!"
"Hit the afterburners!"
"Full speed ahead!"
"Full steam!"
"Let's hit the gas!"
 
So, going to warp apparently needs some preparation, possibly coordination and then a final 'go'. Otherwise there would be no need to say 'engage' or any such phrase after the 'warp x' order.
