Franchise Only Dialogue You Use In Real Life...

[Elias Vaughn]

I have absolutely tried "Computer, end program" when I'm alone and existentially crisising. Never worked.

I will occasionally drop an "Engage" when I start driving.

Perhaps you don't have root privileges.

 

[Oddish]

I think "Hit it" is going to be my phrase of choice.

<scotty> Hellooo, computer... I said that a lot during my early days of dealing with them.

And of course, who can forget, Not now, Madeline! Be careful how and when you use that one.

As a Professional Geologist, I often say "I'm a geologist, not a doctor" or some other profession as the need arises. And yes, I often wear red shirts. Flannel ones. I'm a geologist, not a runway model.

I think that's normal behavior. At least I've done so too (and hence it must be sane behavior)

I would only start to worry if someone started to come up with explanations as to why the command didn't work ('they're probably re-calibrating the isolinear circuitry once again and taken voice command offline...' )

When talking with people who have a very set idea on how some things should be done, I'm sometimes tempted to use Tuvok's line: Proposing the same flawed strategy over and over again will not make it more effective, Ensign.

"bzzz ... Brown alert! Activate anti-methane dampers. ...bzzz"

<photos of cooking>

Not as big a deal as Genesis but... Can I cook, or can't I?

 

[danellis]

When covid first began I was offering the Vulcan salute instead of handshakes

Wish I'd thought of that!

I use "By golly, Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day," as a victory thing...

"Kobayashi Maru" to describe any situation at work where there's no clear solution and every option will leave you worse off.

Most of the people I work with are big enough nerds that it needs no explanation.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Maybe not dialogue, but everyone in HCM city gets around on a motorbike and when I'm driving at night and everyone has their red rear lights on, I think of them as being impulse engines.

 

[Farscape One]

When I was younger, I imagined exactly that with cars that had the lights on top like that! I thought I was the only one.

When you were younger… nice try.

"bzzz ... Brown alert! Activate anti-methane dampers. ...bzzz"

I used to find jokes like this funny when I was twelve.

And I still do

 

[somebuddyX]

I was wondering how my mum was the other day so I used the "How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?" line from Spock's computer test. She had no idea what I was talking about. And she felt fine.

 

[SJGardner]

I tend to exclaim "tea, Earl Grey, hot" before pouring hot water on the teabag in my mug. I can neither confirm nor deny also making replicator sounds after that if I'm in the mood, however.

 

[WarpTenLizard]

"Vicious Animal Thing" is one of my cat's nicknames.

 

[Danja]

Perhaps you don't have root privileges.

That would make a great pick-up line for nerds:

"How about we go back to my place and you give me root privileges?"
