When frustrated by a problem I sometimes complain that I am "persuing untamed water avians".
Working TOS Dialogue Into Everyday Situations
- Thread starter Phaser Two
- Start date
When my wife has asked me for some piece of information and I'm taking too long in her estimation to provide it, I'll tell her ""it's coming through now Khan".
Hmmm..many of these are interactions with my wife.

I've been known to say "Red alert!" and "Yellow alert."
When people sit on a high horse, and look down their noses at others, while painting themselves into a corner, this one comes to mind:
"I'm laughing at the 'superior intellect'."
"I'm laughing at the 'superior intellect'."
This works best with the big "YESSS!" in front of it.
Not an actual quote...
Close enough for government work.
I'm sure I've said "Herbert" and "we reach."
There's an area near where we used to live where I was the victim a few years back of a swoop-and-stop scam causing a minor car crash. I learned while fighting the claim with my carrier that the area around that intersection is notorious for such activity by allegedly paid stooges of certain ambulance chasers.
I still occasionally drive through that area. Whenever I do, I say "Warning! We have entered the neutral zone" followed by "We are now in violation of treaty, Captain."
Another big one - whenever happening to drive by something or someone who is the target of my ire: "Lock phasers on target and await my command."
Basically if you think of your car as the Enterprise you can have a ton of fun.

Not Trek, but my most oft used movie quote is probably from Last Crusade... "i wrote it down so i don't HAVE to remember...." 
In the mid 90s, I visited a Lake in the Poconos (Wallenpaupack) where a friend's parents had a place - three of us went out on their boat, and were quickly engulfed in thick fog. I of course announced "we are now entering the Mutara nebula".
But from wHERrrrrrrrrrrre?
I say "five thousand quatloos on the newcomer" far more often than you would expect someone to be able to work that phrase into conversation.
Although when I say it, I'm pretty sure I'm referencing MST3K and not Star Trek. Which is weird since I hardly watched that show.
A few years ago I used that phrase in front of a coworker who kind of freaked out over it: she was about 20 and had led a very sheltered life, only recently watching much television. She had found a station running Star Trek and liked it, but wasn't aware there was a fan community.
And that week's episode had been "Gamesters of Triskellion", so she recognized the line immediately, but was shocked that anyone else might.

McCoy's I finally got the last word from Journey To Babel could be used in any argument with the wife!

So the wife and I were just now sitting on the back deck reading. An ant started crawling up her leg and she yelled BLAH!!" and swatted it, missed, yelled "BLAH!!" and missed again, yelled "BLAH!!!" again and got it.
Yeah, I had no choice but to yell "NO BLAH BLAH BLAH!!"

Do you crush someone's ribs too?
This pops into my head a lot, especially when reading internet fora.
I channel Lazarus and use "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!" People look at me funny.
No, not really 
I've used Spock's deadpan (sarcastic?) "fascinating" from the part in Wrath of Khan where Kirk tells him that's his son.
On an off topic note, I was in a meeting once and we were talking about bar coding of paper forms to make the scanning process more efficient and I made the point of saying that we should use the same # on similar forms. I ended it with "one bar code to scan them all."
No one got it

"The women on your planet are logical, Mr.Spock, that's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim!" In answer to Spock's question about how Kirk knew that the Dohlman of Elaas would act the way she did when he refused to ask for her leave!
