Your go-to "Go" phrase

Hmmmm, tough call, but probably "Fire it up".
Now I'm from Georgia by way of Texas, so it would probably come out sounding something like "Fahrdup" but there you go.
"Okay, let's kick this pig. Set course for Vulcan, cruising speed of Warp 6."
"Course and speed are set, Captain."
"Fire it up"

I can see the promo bridge shot in my mind, big smile on my face, everybody else cringes

They sounded cooler in my head...
"Time to shine"
"Let's dance"
"Onwards and upwards"
"You've got this"
"Rad alert"
 
A funny one: "Ludicrous speed! GO!"

But I kind of like the way Jellico did it. He said: "Mr. Data, I want to be in X place in Y time." And Data did the calculations and told the helm how fast to go. Because Data knows how to get it done!

EDIT: NO, I didn't know that @1001001 had posted that one already. I just posted without refreshing.

It just bugs me to no end how the writers are focusing on the "go" phrase being personal... most captains seem content with "Engage" for warping away, and they have their own personal preferences for "you have your orders, carry them out" instead.

I'm just so used to "Engage" I would keep using it anyway. As for making orders, it would be a simple "do it," but intoned exactly how Palpatine does it at the start of ROTS.
 
I know. But they're fun nonetheness.
Well start with Obvious: "Go."
Environmental: "Let's burn some antimatter."
Geometric: "Let's head for Point B."
Gastronomic: "Let's fire up the barbecue, boys." [Texas accent]
Rhythmic: "Let's rock n' roll."
Cinematic: "It's Turbo time." [Schwarzenegger accent]
Musical: "Let's do the space warp again." [Sung to the RHPS song]
Also Musical: "Go go go go gogogogo..." [Sung to "Greased Lightning"]
Idiomatic: "Let's make like a banana and split."
Commercial: "Zoom zoom." [whispered]
Aeronautical: "Full throttle."
Hopeful: "To the stars!"
Not so hopeful: "Into the endless dark!"
Aquatic: "All ahead flank."
Literary: "Second star to the right and onward till morning."
Vehicular: "Floor it."
Italian: "Prestissimo!"
Latin: "Tempus fugit."
