I worked hard at imitating the Leonard Nimoy Spock’s raised eyebrow for quite a while. I don’t regret the time spent practicing that in front of a mirror. I never mastered a fully raised eyebrow, but I can do a slight eyebrow raise.

Whenever someone is being greedy or acting a fool, I say, “hoo-man,” in a bad Ferengi accent.

Jean-Luc Picard’s “make it so” is a go to phrase for me.

My first sip of coffee for the day is always my Janeway moment.

When someone says something far fetched, I say “really.” I think I’m channeling Benjamin Sisko. No one else sees it that way.

I say “p’takh” a bit too often. Not to anyone who understands Klingon. Not yet, anyway.

Any Star Trek mannerism or phrase you’ve incorporated into your life?

      The one with Kaylar (the one about the old ship) has some great worf lines.

      K: “You’re not even looking at me.”

      W: “I am familiar with your appearance.”

      That comment by Worf when Nog doesn’t know what to do when he can’t find a runner who didn’t touch base always gets me laughing. Peak Klingon.

      Nog: What’s wrong?
      O’Brien: He didn’t touch home, Nog!
      Nog: Is that true? What do I do?
      Worf: Find him and kill him!

      DS9 “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” s7e4. Awesome episode.

      Michael Dorn has spent 30+ years delivering deadpan one-liners and I love him for it.
