"I do not know" is the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom.

I admire this statement and it heavily influences my thinking.

Everybody remember where we parked

When we're gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I'll call my husband back to the game with, "Play dom-jot, hew-mon!" but I never stab him if he's cheating.

Exploitation begins at home

"He's dead, Jim."

I work for an MSP and I often multiply my time estimates by a factor of four.... Does that count?

I adjust my shirt/sweater like Picard when he gets up.

Whenever I wake up my computer I saw a little "Hello Computer".

Not me but my friend always say "Engage!" when he activates his electric recliner.

@Nmyownworld Whenever I have solved some weird tech issue, my first instinct is to throw my hands up and shout "Qapla'!"

(It's the pose from the end of Goldeneye, so I am clearly aware of how quickly my fortune can turn.)

Live long and prosper

Whenever I just slightly win, I shout "Qa'pla!". Whenever I get really competitive I say "Today is a good day to die." I also use petaQ.

I know this isn't really a mannerism or phrase, but whenever a shocking turn/twist happens I've been known to hum the Balance of Terror theme.

Edit: Also the hissy "feeeeeeemales" whenever someone casually calls women "females". Thanks @catshit_dogfart@lemmy.world

I tend to do the Spock eyebrow raise quite a bit without thinking about it, to the point that people I know will ask if it's on purpose.

I also will use "fascinating" and I tend to insert logical or illogical into sentences.

Worf's "It is not funny, but I get it" is something I throw in as well.

If I'm in "Star Trek Mode" I'll use various Klingon phrases, along with the Vulcan salute as greeting. My wife and I will at times text in Klingon. There's other stuff as well, but not as common!

It's a little on the nose, considering my display name and avatar, but, "That's a stupid question!"

Two Spock quotes that have become ingrained:

“I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.”

• TOS: “The Squire of Gothos”

“I do not approve. I understand.”

• TOS: “A Taste of Armageddon”

When I drive and the missus is in the passenger seat and I have to break harder than usual because an idiot in front of me, I sometimes yell "Brace for impact!"

Tea, Earl Grey, hot!

Same on the eyebrow raise, but instead like Seven of Nine.

In my best Janeway voice: "DEW IT."

Not something i do, but this thread reminded me of my intense desire to end up in a situation where i can shout COMPUTER TURN OFF THAT NOISE

Make it so

Sadly, no. I've never quoted Star Trek without intentionally being in "Star Trek Fan" mode. I know, not exciting, but true.

Unconsciously adopted a Jadzia Dax's thinking walk with hands holding behind back.

Takes a bit of context...

I used to LARP.
At the game I played, I became leader of one of the five Baronies of our in-game nation.
We would have barony meetings on the regular...
...at which I used to have to struggle not to give the order to "make it so."

It's just... so perfect a turn of phrase it's hard not to use. But memeing in-game is bad.

"He's dead Jim"

"There must be a logical explanation, Captain."
