Oh, lordy, my friends, my wife and I have had Trek sayings in our personal lexicons since the 70s. It's just part of the way we talk - I don't think we even realize it any more.
I've snuck up behind my wife and done something playful like tickle her neck or something, and she'll look at me in mock confusion and say "is there some significance to this action?"
Come to think of it, she's taken to calling me "captain" lately.

I once tried to microwave some food but it wasn't working. I asked my brother, "Is the microwave offline?" It took us a few seconds before I realized it wasn't plugged in, not some "offline" state.
When I'm arguing with my GF I'll throw in lines like "that is most illogical." and one time after being called an A**hole I pulled out a Garak line "Being an A**hole is a skill like any other, and to maintain a certain level of perfection one must practice constantly."

"Coffee. Black"
"Take us in, Mr/Ms (name as appropriate)" when parking with friends
"This far and no further!" in shouty voice
"It's a fake!" on numerous occasions
and some Star Wars ones...
"I love you....I know"
"Do or do not. There is no try"
"That is why you fail" (usually in response to " I can't do this/that/other)
"It is your des...tiny" (in Vader voice) + "No, that's impossible"
"It's a trap"

I often blame missing socks and keys on rifts in the space-time continuum.
One time while cleaning up a mess I made, a co-worker was criticising me on my mopping skills, so I said "Damn it Jim, I'm a stockboy, not a janitor!"
We were watching a Tom Baker Dr. Who last night, set in a remote Antarctic base. As home base is trying to contact them on the radio, the bad guy suddenly rips the cables out to kill the radio. My wife and I, at the same time, said "It was a boring conversation anyway."
I love her.
I love her.
So much win. I think I'll start doing that now. XD
Anyway, sometimes I do "Live long and prosper". I sometimes say "Its a fake" when theres one of those annoying "Your the 1,000,000 visitor!" ads appear in my browser, and on other occasions as well.
EDIT: My 47th post. Woohoo!

that's one i've used. that and 'we're all fine here, how are you?'
When I figure out a computer programming problem at work, I say "THAT was the equation" (from What Are Little Girls Made Of).
All the time.
So much so, I can't think of anything specific right now.
