So what is every StarShip Captain's "Catch Phrase" for going to warp?

Zephram Cochrane: let's rock and roll!
(Yes I know that was at launch, and he also said ' engage' when actually initiating the warp drive, but he probably overheard some of the Enterprise crew talking

I suppose across the Fleet, variations on
“Do it!” (Which may get odd reactions)
“Take us out!”
“Take us away!”
“Pedal to the metal!”
“Floor it!”
“Outrace light!”
“Bend space!”
“Let’s hear ‘em hum!”
“Get me there!”
“Squeeze those crystals!” (Ouch!)
“Break that time barrier!”
“Onward!”
“The whip is cracked!”
And over on Lower Decks guest ships, maybe
“Flex those muscles!”
“(Actual vocal imitation of whip crack)”
“Zoom us!”
“Push it hard, push it good!”
“Warp, oh yeah!”
“Work those coils!”
“Cochrane us!”
Me:
“Warp X, please.”

Captain LaForge of the USS Challenger:
That little bit from "The Last Outpost". You all know the one
That little bit from "The Last Outpost". You all know the one
"Helm, I want you to manipulate space-time in order to create a continuum distortion propulsion effect, nesting us in a subspace bubble, making us appear towards outside observers to be in an alternating state of super- and subliminal velocities during successive Planck time intervals. You may want to liaise your efforts with Engineering, asking them to reconfigure antimatter flow and deuterium crystal configuration to facilitate achieving aforementioned effect,"
"Erm.....,erm ..... you mean 'engage warp drive', Sir?"
"That's the ticket"

The Enterprise-E:
Captain: "Today is a good day to die!"
Conn: "Umm... Captain, we're supposed to be on a rendezvous to resupply with Deep Space 3..."
Captain: "Ramming speed!"

"Punch it!"
Helmsman: "Why do I have to punch it? I can just lightly tap on the button.. Engineering is getting on my ass on how my console is always ending up broken.. ugh.. "
"Engage"
"Execute"
"Enable"
"Explore Me!" Followed by weird looks

His more notable command was "Get it done" & while pretty badass, I think those were more akin to Picard's "Make it so"
I don't think we ever heard his variant of "Engage" but I bet you it was similar to Kurn's "Execute!" Lol
It's a shame Data never got to use something android-like, "Implement" for example.
I'm not nearly as formal as any of those. For "Make it so", I'd probably say "Take care of that", & for "Engage"... maybe, "Enable".
I wonder if Styles changed his after "Execute" saw his ship sputter and die.
