Never thought of that! Good idea. If I attempted to twerk, I'd probably dislocate something
So no. I'll leave the twerking to Miley.

The last couple of days I've been trying to trap a mouse in my yard. After discovering a trap that had moved across the yard, was chewed on, and busted open.

I've quoted rules of acquisition to make real life arguments about economics. "Remember the third rule of acquisition: Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to."
Shades of the line from Kirk to Charlie X
There's a million things you can have, and a million things you can't have.
"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting".

I use this one with my children now and again.
Except it really doesn't.
Enterprise CV6 was scrapped despite being the most decorated ship in US Navy history
Enterprise CVN65 is currently being readied for scrapping despite being the first nuclear carrier and longest serving carrier in Navy history.
The shuttle Enterprise never flew in space and got kicked out as the centerpiece of the Air and Space museum in favor of Discovery. Although it did end up in NYC on the USS Intrepid.
The 1701 was destroyed in TSFS.
The 1701-A was destroyed in a non canon book.
The 1701-B was also destroyed in a non canon book.
The 1701-C was destroyed in combat. Brought back in a time rift and then destroyed again.
The 1701-D was destroyed many times in TNG. Then destroyed for good by an inferior opponent.
As far as I know the 1701-E and NX-01 haven't been destroyed.
So of 10 Enterprises, 5 were destroyed in combat. 2 were cut up despite their historical significance. 1 was a test ship that was kicked out of a place of honor with other historic planes to a lesser place. And 2 apparently survive but I'm sure will be destroyed in later works.
A 70% fatality rate for the ships doesn't seem like fate is really protecting them that much.
I frequently use "Calm yourself, Doctor" to my kids and grandkids.
If my girlfriend is in a bad mood and won't let me come near her, I always ask her if her 'shields are up' - her being a redhead also results I'm me referring to it being an 'orange alert'
My girlfriend's room she get's changed in we refer to as her 'ready room'
Her second and last names are Louise Richardson which I frequently change to 'Lou-Ricard'
'Make it so' is thrown around a lot but I guess a lot of people do that.
When she has a spot I'll usually ask her if she's suffering from Klingon Puberty.
Additionally, the noise of the TOS communicator is my text message and email sound effect.
When I think of it a lot of it revolves around my other half...

I dunno, that always makes me think more of Star Wars:

Best line in ST2009.
This reminds me of something my wife and I do. It's not a quote per-se, but if one of our kids (or us!) has a particularly impressive pimple, it gets referred to as a gorch.
Something about taking the Klingon Oath like Worf says all over dramatically. "Engage", "You have the bridge" and something about Data being fascinated. And the quote everyone knows from Bones of course.
I, also, have paraphrased of "the needs of the many" and also refer to considering something for "zero point six eight seconds" occasionally adding that "...for an android - that is nearly an eternity".
I've used that one quite a few times. The Charlie X quote as well - also usually with the kids.
But my favorite quote to use in conversation is "I shall consider it." from Mirror, Mirror, used when someone is trying to convince me of something and has made a good argument. I remember seeing on the 25th Anniversary special a JPL scientist saying that this phrase was used frequently among his colleagues to indicate that you would take a new idea seriously.
