"The Best of Both Worlds, Part I". When Shelby is having someone modulate the phaser frequencies, it is Data doing the work not Worf.

And I'm pretty sure that isn't the only example. That was supposed to be the beauty of the LCARS system, any station could pretty much carry out any function needed.
^ Just the other day I watched an episode of Voyager where Paris fired the phasers when Tuvok wasn't on the bridge.
EDIT: That's the one. Could still be a Klingon, but I doubt it.
It certainly looks like it, yes. We've seen some of that in the season trailer. The prosecutor wasn't a Klingon, though, but some green alien.

Ah, probably because Data could do it fast enough. I remember that the console itself didn't have any section labeled for that purpose (while the tactical one did), but Data could've reconfigured it in 10 ms XD

Could be the Klingons and green people fighting over who gets to prosecute Ensign Mariner.
PICARD:Mister Data, fire phasers!
WES:Hey, it was my turn!!!!
I think in the TNG consoles the phaser button is programed on rotation from station to station, that way nobody feels left out.
I can't remember which thread we were talking about language of now and the 24th century, but this is an interesting article.

The problem with language is that whenever shows try to create "future slang" it very seldom works out well (it can, but it very seldom does) so they are kinda stuck with characters that sound contemporary to whenever the show was made.
The other Star Trek shows also sound contemporary to the decades they were made to varying degrees.
They might not use as much slang, but Mariner is a character who lends itself to slang and I think it adds rather than detracts from her character, and it makes the dialogue feel very natural.
Of course I'm also a person who endlessly whines about civilian clothing in Picard looking too contemporary, so...

Until they come up with 3d printing clothing I think that fashions are going to repeat in the future lolOf course I'm also a person who endlessly whines about civilian clothing in Picard looking too contemporary, so...
Still when I wanna see something set 400 years or so in the future I wanna see some interesting wardrobe, not a guy in a suit and tie :-P The costuming was half the reason I watched Game of Thrones.
But again, those clothes alone wouldn't ruin Picard for me if I liked it. And there is some nice future fashion in Picard iirc like Elnor's robes and Byazil's (is that the spelling?) dress and hair
Harry Kim's fired from Ops a few times on Voyager.
Could be their take on a Disco Klingon? Maybe they are going to have multiple kinds of Klingons co-existing?It certainly looks like it, yes. We've seen some of that in the season trailer. The prosecutor wasn't a Klingon, though, but some green alien.
EDIT: That's the one. Could still be a Klingon, but I doubt it.
I was surprised a few years ago when I learned the term "well hung" to describe someone with a large dick originates from the sixteenth century, inspired by hanging victims who got an erection in their final moments.
I so rarely see people in suits and ties in real life so I always find that interesting.
Death by snu snu? 
Ha ha ha ha. She fired phasers at an alien vessel unprovoked.
Star Trek!
Star Trek!
Kirk says hi.
KALO: Okay, you three, let's see you petrify.
SPOCK: Sir, would you mind explaining that statement, please?
KALO: Don't give me those baby blue eyes.
MCCOY: What?
SCOTT: You mind your place, mister, or you'll be wearing concrete galoshes.
KRAKO: You mean cement overshoes?
SCOTT: Er. Aye.
KIRK: Okay, baby. Cool him till I flag you.
SCOTT: Flag me?
KIRK: Keep him until I send for him. We're going to make some old-style phone calls from this locale. So you locate the man on the other end of the blower and give him a ride to this flop.
SCOTT: What?
KIRK: Find the man at the other end of the phone
DATA: He's on ice.
CRUSHER: Pardon?
DATA: He's being grilled.
CRUSHER: What is he, a fish?
SERGEANT: You're a pretty hep lookin' broad.
CRUSHER: Is that good?
DATA: Commander, a low mileage pit woofie?
RIKER: This time you've got me. I haven't a clue.
DATA: These are the most unusual humans I have ever encountered.
SONNY: Not to worry. Old Watosh'll scuffle along the best way he can. How do I get a hold of that feller with the strange looking face?
CRUSHER: I beg your pardon?
