In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.

If you became captain of a ship, what would your warp slogan be?

I'm Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway-Cree (a dialect in between Ojibway and Cree ... it's neither one or the other, can kind of understand one and the other but not really)

So my go to warp slogan would be ... Eh-koo Mash-cha!! ... basically a phrase that translates to just 'Ok then ... Let's go!'

BTW: ... that has got to be shittiest looking stereotypical Native person I've ever memed ... lol

I can't believe I missed that ... I completely forgot about this scene and Mel Brooks dressed up as an Indian ... it's been years since I saw that movie ... now I can't stop laughing .. my warp core has been ejected ...

Oddly enough, your phrase sounds very Klingon. And, lacking the impulse control:

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a female cousin that would have passed for Klingon ... she used to scream Ojibway/Cree obscenities when she got mad at her children

AH TAGUY! TAGUY! TAHK-GUY! AH-GUY!! SHOO-AH-GUY! TAHK-GUY! AHHH-GUY!!

(in case you're wondering ... Taguy means genitals and more specifically 'penis' - a very insulting way to yell obscenities in my language ... the variations are basically just saying ... penis, penis, big penis, little penis, a very big penis, penis, little penis .... and yes, she used to yell this at 100 decibels at her kids)

I mean, it’s kind of what Mel Brooks was going for. :D

And then you are going to add "we are far from the bones of my ancestors"?

Both nacelles fly off the main ship and cartoonishly dangle off the craft with big giant springs

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Jake: Hit it.

Ive been a car guy my whole life so Id have to have a few depending on what warp rating we were looking at.

"Helm, Warp 3, Just a nice drive in the country"

"Helm, Warp 5. Chirp the tyres"

"Helm! Warp 7. Dump the clutch!"

"Helm! WARP 9! SEND IT!"

Alternately, shouting WARP ME in intense situations with an added slam to the arm rest.

I always said “Hit it” but then Pike used it in strange worlds. Not sure now.

Nothing happens ???

Sir, there's been an unexpected flash mob in engineering led by the Lt. Commander who proposed to one of his junior officers.

My warp command would be:

“Kick the tires and light the fires, warp 9 ensign”

No one seems to have a catch phrase for engaging the transporter. Mine would be:

“Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.”

I'd put on my tiny shorts and stand in front of the view screen waving a chequered flag.
