Creating Trek slang

To Kirk an opponent in the nuts (cleverly defeating a technically superior opponent by confusing him with arguments, aimed at his weak spot )
To Picardize an audience (to bore them to death with long-winded speeches about noble ideals)
To Sisko a battle (To totally unexpectedly win a battle that seemed lost by enlisting the help of the local deities)
To Janeway people (treating someone (or your crew) like an overbearing mother would, with the occasional bout of unbearable smugness thrown in for good measure)

Kirk must be a fan of the saying “If you can’t dazzle them with diamonds, baffle them with b*lls**t.”
 
Maybe in things like Holoplays or just starship stage shows where female nudity is required, they don't call the fake hair patches used to cover the genital area "Merkins", but "Tribbles" instead.
