Make your own "Go to Warp" command

"Kick it"

And then have Beastie Boys's Fight For Your Right blast through the ship's internal comms.
 
If you're a Transformers fan, Bumblebee spent most of 26 episodes of the first season of the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon trying (and failing) to come up with his own catchphrase, instead of copying Optimus Prime's "Transform and roll out!" Would be interesting to see a Trek captain go through all of these suggestions on screen, along with all the pained looks from the bridge crew!
 
I nominate the Judge Smalls

A running joke of Discovery season 3 was Saru trying to come up with one. None works. The poor soul even told Tilly to prepare him a list of proposals...
 
I was interested to find selections of this book:
“The Sailor’s Word-Book: An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including some more especially military and scientific, but useful to seamen; as well as archaisms of early voyagers, etc. by the late ADMIRAL W. H. SMYTH, K.S.F., D.C.L., &c.”
have been placed on the web at:
https://historyundusted.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/from-the-1867-sailors-word-book-nautical-orders/
and it includes
MAKE IT SO. The order of a commander to confirm the time, sunrise, noon, or sunset, reported to him by the officer of the watch.
So even though Picard doesn't use it to mean exactly what it meant in 1867, the writers weren't just making it up!
 
Well, here's how I (as a non-Brit) would imagine an English Star Trek would go:

Hmm. I expected something more along the lines of -

-Oy, Enguneerin ya muppets we need warp, yeah?
-Ya bloody bridge wankers we got our bloimeys all wrapped up in a blingo so warp core is balls up right now innit?
-Whatera goin on about now?
-Me shields are buggered, a tractor beams got us by the bangers, there's a laser cutting up our arse and we gots about five-ety of them Borg blokes got us chuffed.
-Well thats right knackered.
-Ace.
