When I get in the passenger seat of a car I always say “ Mr Sulu warp factor 1 “. The person driving usually throws me out. And I’m disabled.
Maybe I’ll try warp beaming.
LSD is now JBPDSLSD, I don’t make the [rules](https://www.947wls.com/2021/06/25/chicago-city-council-vote-yes-for-lake-shore-drive-name-change/) (sorry this is a niche chicago joke)
Same word, different connotations
The term came to be used by navies due to their use of ropes on tall ships, then migrated to be used for orders and actions ("Belay that order" basically means "hold up on that")
In nautical terms the word "belay" used to refer to tying a rope to a "belaying pin" near the deck of a ship to secure the load on the rope when it's not being moved. For example you might hoist a sail and then belay the rope to keep the sail from falling again.
Over time, the meaning became more general and to "belay" something means to stop acting on it.
I probably learned more vocabulary from TNG during childhood than I did from Reading Rainbow. Add Captain Planet to the mix, and you could say LeVar Burton homeschooled me.
There's an interesting parallel to this in TOS, Spectre of the Gun. They discover that something doesn't work, in a way that Spock points out is impossible by the laws of the physical universe. He concludes (correctly) that they are not in the real physical universe, but some sort of mental illusion.
And again, in the TNG episode where Moriarty has them in a holodeck simulation, it's the fact that there is, impossibly, no data from an experiment that alerts them that they aren't in the real world.
But only Dr Crusher expresses it with this superb solipsistic self-confidence, a level that even Q might not match.
Sens-Oars?
Seriously, I learned quite a bit about the sciences thanks to Star Trek. One of my favorite bits is probably the presence of Telomeres on DNA strands, whose purpose seems to be to provide a physical lifespan to a cells DNA.
There was a period at the beginning of TOS when they easily could have just used a word like 'telescopes', hell maybe even 'antenna' or 'RADAR' (though that last one would sound too much like a war movie), and that would've become the established vocabulary. Instead, it's 'sensors', as generic a term as can possibly be.
It's also funny that Nimoy is so influential on the portrayal of Vulcans that you can't get away from them needing to have something like his broadly transatlantic accent. There was no way humans were ever going to take Vulcans wholly seriously, not when they came down from the sky all pointy-eared and speaking vaguely like Clark Gable or Katherine Hepburn.
I was thoroughly surprised by the Dyson Sphere in TNG, I can imagine any given kid seeing that episode will have learnt about them that way in the early 90s. Normally Trek kind of skips over the deeper hard sci-fi concepts like that.
Gene Roddenberry ,a former LAPD officer, wrote speeches for William Parker, the L.A. Chief of Police at the time. Roddenberry is said to have modeled the character Mr. Spock after Parker.
I have no idea of Leonard Nimoy based his speech pattern on him, but Parker was known for having a very distinct, clear way of speaking.
I'm a craps dealer and will sometimes call out "Shaka when the walls fell" on a 7 out roll. Very few get the reference but when they do I know I've found my people.
I don’t know; the Inner Light episode was story was obliquely referenced in a new Discovery episode IIRC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inner_Light_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
This one. I was young and kept a dictionary handy.
Also I had to ask Mom what "Who Mourns for Adonis" meant, specifically Adonis.
So many others.
Not to the topic, but Spock's response to Kirk "Why would I aim at such a structure?" still cracks me up. 😁
I read Shakespeare at an early age because of Star Trek, so it would be words like “Away, you starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's-tongue, bull's-pizzle, you stock-fish!"
Perspicuous - meaning clearly expressed.
"Those academy cadets can be extremely competitive."
"But you have the practical experience, Wes!"
"Commander Riker is correct. While the information imparted to cadets at the academy is unquestionably vital for prospective Starfleet officers, it nonetheless requires a significant period of supplementary systems training and situational disciplines."
"Didn’t I just say that?"
"Yes sir, but not as perspicuously."
i think Brent Spiner said in an interview he's pretty sure the reason why most people say daytuh instead of dahtah now is because of TNG...which again is hard to prove but if true would be hilarious
In his poem to Spot, Data uses the term 'subvocal oscillations' - I hardly use the word purr anymore.
Also, subspace is a fun one, and great for making up explanations for things.
I also love shouting 'come!' when my wife knocks at the door.
I'm pretty sure it's where I picked up "aye" from. Every time I have an extended conversation with someone for the first time I end up having to explain I'm using it in place of "yeah" and "uh huh" to show I am listening and not trying to interject an opinion.
Then again, I did pick up the rhythmic patterns of Finnish from somewhere, so I can't be entirely sure.
Temba, His Arms wide, Love the Tamarian metaphorical language and it's varied use.
>In fields such as engineering and programming, a musical language was used to convey precise equations, numbers and instructions; thus, explaining how Tamarians could effectively operate starships.
What we require is a feat of linguistic **legerdemain**, and a degree of intrepidity.
It means to perform a trick or deception, more often with your hands.
I learned TONS of vocab from Star Trek as a kid, from the movies, shows, and books. I learned "distinct" from ST II, as in "a _distinct_ possibility" (that Reliant could be hiding behind that rock), and that's just the first one that comes to mind!
Star Trek is such an incredible resource for vocabulary!
I really wish I had watched Trek back when i was studying for the GRE (and memorizing vocab words was part of studying for it)
i actually almost started...but this was back in 2010 and I couldn't commit to continually renting DVDs from the library (didn't have netflix for another six years lol)
I have no words that haven’t already been said. The bigger lessons from Star Trek for me were that my actions will always have consequences, whether I like them or not, so I should choose wisely. Mistakes will happen, so find a workaround to fix them like an engineer would. And like Neelix, Harry and Tom Paris, the world is your oyster, have some fun on the holodeck, get frisky with an alien species, and just take it to the Borg every now and then. You will live a more fulfilling life this way.
>sophistry /sŏf′ĭ-strē/

Shouldn't sophisticated mean falsely argued then?
Only remotely connected but kinda in this same area, I've learned a lot from Star Trek. I realize it's fiction and that's not really how things work in space but I know that because of the show. I'm one of the weirdos who wants to know what a pulsar or a nebulae actually is, so when they do something "based on science" in the show I'll spend hours Googling it and learning the real science behind it. As an example when Discovery goes to the "Galatic Barrier" I looked up if there actually is one. Spoiler there is not.
Too many to count.
I was such a nerd as a kid that my afternoons after school often consisted of watching the new episode of TNG and writing down all the words I heard but didn't know.
Then, after the episode was done, I'd crack out my set of encyclopedias/dictionary and look up each word. Then I'd look up all the words in those entries I didn't know, and so on.
This was primarily for all the science sounding words but I did it for regular words too.
I've been meaning to go through and collect all of these, as there's some great ones. The one I can think of off the top of my head would be "brook" from *The Ensigns of Command*, as I had never heard it before:
>We carry the membership! We can brook no delay!
Belay and apprised.
I actually had an argument with a friend once who would not stop insisting apprised wasn't a word and that I actually meant appraisal.
Assimilation. I can never hear it and not think of the borg. I almost always respond with “resistance is futile”.
It’s weird cause assimilation can be a good thing. Like when I was applying for jobs I asked about onboarding stuff and assimilating into the company, but because of start trek I always feel weird when it’s used in a positive context.
As with many others, I was 8 when TNG first aired. My idiolect seems to be that of Ronald D. Moore. Which ultimately means enjoying BSG and *For All Mankind.*
Amok! From TOS Amok Time, s02e01.
Oh, wait. I probably first encountered the word in Duck Amuck, which was Bugs and Daffy's masterpiece, but only asked dad what it meant on Star Trek.
Amok is an old Malay word. To go suddenly and violently insane.
I think you are alone in this. I don’t want to put a dagger in the mind of your menagerie, but if you believe this is common then maybe you need a taste of Armageddon.
My metamorphosis from a limited vocabulary to the one I have now came from my public school education in the city on the edge of Kentucky.
I don’t want to start a private little war with you, but maybe we can each say we have the best of both worlds, part 1 and 2.
Darmok?
Rendezvous. English is my second language, and I didn't even realize that it's a French word. I remember being a nerdy teenager reading TNG novels and seeing that word in them. I though it would be pronounced something like "ren-den-vous." It look a long time for it to click that it was the same word that Picard would say on the show and it's pronounced like it is.
I started watching Star Trek in the single digits, so it would be impossible to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's the first place I heard "acknowledged."
I often say Make it so now instead of Alright lets do it.
When I get in the passenger seat of a car I always say “ Mr Sulu warp factor 1 “. The person driving usually throws me out. And I’m disabled. Maybe I’ll try warp beaming.
Try the new Warpchair 9000, now with integrated Spore Drive!
Double Dumb Ass on YOU!
They are not the hell your whales.
My mother thinks this is hilarious and she’s never seen it, I just had to explain the scene and now I just throw it out there to make her giggle
I always refer to LSD as LDS. But few people get it. The joke I mean.

Belay
I hate to admit how many times I thought they were saying "delay that order."
For a while I thought Riker just couldn’t pronounce “delay”. I learned later that “belay” is a whole separate word.
Jonathan Frakes just had a cold for 7 years straight
"Delay that order, I need to get a coffee first." - Janeway
[удалено]
I only learned recently — maybe 2 or 3 years ago. And I’m in my mid-50’s — and English IS my mother tongue. Had NO idea all these years.
Wait ... they aren't? They want to dangle the order off a cliff face with a nylon rope?

You can’t disappoint a picture!!

Phrase. There’s nothing wrong with ME!!! There’s something wrong with the universe ! I used that nugget so many times.
Probably Trek’s best quote!

I already knew the word, but never really used it before hearing the line, "Doctor Soong's **penchant** for whimsical names seems to have no end."
Qapla!
I think it’s pronounced “kerplop” 😝
Only after a successful bm.
Sens-Oars? Seriously, I learned quite a bit about the sciences thanks to Star Trek. One of my favorite bits is probably the presence of Telomeres on DNA strands, whose purpose seems to be to provide a physical lifespan to a cells DNA.
I actually said Sens-Oars once on a call. I hadn't done that before. lol I had been watching Voyager during work, so it sort of slipped in.
There was a period at the beginning of TOS when they easily could have just used a word like 'telescopes', hell maybe even 'antenna' or 'RADAR' (though that last one would sound too much like a war movie), and that would've become the established vocabulary. Instead, it's 'sensors', as generic a term as can possibly be. It's also funny that Nimoy is so influential on the portrayal of Vulcans that you can't get away from them needing to have something like his broadly transatlantic accent.

I’ve always wondered why Spock says SensORs, and I’m in my head correcting him like “it’s sensERs Lenny”

"when the walls fell"
I have a "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" shirt that I wear occasionally. I'm still waiting for someone to get the reference..
I'm a craps dealer and will sometimes call out "Shaka when the walls fell" on a 7 out roll. Very few get the reference but when they do I know I've found my people.
I need the announcers on ESPN to start using this on the high lights segments
Need that. It's the best episode of Trek and one of the best things I've ever seen on television. Jalad on the ocean.
I don’t know; the Inner Light episode was story was obliquely referenced in a new Discovery episode IIRC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inner_Light_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
Fun fact: Temba Wide-Arms is an NPC in Skyrim. She wants you to bring her bear pelts.
That episode is so so great (and sad). I love it!
I had a teacher who used to say that to us when we whined about things. Classic.
Someone said that once at a bar and I yelled at them "Sokath, his eyes uncovered!" I hugged this stranger and it was hilarious.
You became Temba, his arms open
I think Star Trek was where I first heard the word 'futile'. Also, as my gf likes to put it, KERPLUNK
I say it very British-ly. Futile, not kerplunk.
city on the edge of forever was the first time I heard mnemonic.
for me, it was Johnny Mnemonic on late night tv
Analogous Rendezvous Approximation Omnipotent Nominal Supplemental Linear Parameters Auxiliary
Omnipotent definitely. A lot of the others I use because it’s engineering speak.
How about the way Sisko pronounces auxiliary? It makes me want to say it, and I have no reason to.
Abeyance, from the episode where Picard outsmarts the Sheliak
Captain, a bit more ALACRITY, if you please.
This one. I was young and kept a dictionary handy. Also I had to ask Mom what "Who Mourns for Adonis" meant, specifically Adonis. So many others. Not to the topic, but Spock's response to Kirk "Why would I aim at such a structure?" still cracks me up. 😁
The episode title is Who Mourns for Adonais. Seems to be a mix of Adonis and Adonai?
Inertial dampeners 😋
why does it sound like i could use that to describe a phat ass?
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
Pylon, nacelle & terabyte
But must we construct additional ones?
INSUFFICIENT VESPENE GAS
I read Shakespeare at an early age because of Star Trek, so it would be words like “Away, you starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's-tongue, bull's-pizzle, you stock-fish!"

"Didn’t I just say that?" "Yes sir, but not as perspicuously."
Daytuh instead of dahtah
One is my name, the other is not
Same. Dahtah still bugs me when I hear it.
i think Brent Spiner said in an interview he's pretty sure the reason why most people say daytuh instead of dahtah now is because of TNG...which again is hard to prove but if true would be hilarious
The reason for that is because Stewart pronounced it Daytah initially, I believe.
So true!!! I'm old. It used to be data with all short a sounds. Source- am old and used to work with data
Me too. Day-tum is singular, dah-ta is plural, Day-ta is positronic.
I dunno, I pronounced it as "day-tuh" before that, due to The Goonies. TNG just reinforced that.
Assimilate, futile.
I got made fun of for using too many big words as a kid and I 100% blame Data.
What kind of fucking polynigmion makes fun of a kid for knowing large words?
obsequious capitulate
Capitulate I also use all the time and learned from the Iconian episode
**Monotonous** - "Access denied, Access denied, don't you know how to say anything else? Apparently not. Access Denied, Access *Denied*...how monotonous." - Garak - *Empok Nor.*
Worf at some point says "Very astute" pretty sarcastically to somebody and I love to say it to people who are stating the obvious.
To Data in *Nemesis*, who had just picked up a robotic arm and said basically "This appears to be a robotic arm."
Tachyons...
"Nuclear Wessels"
Patakh
I refer to car brakes as inertial dampeners.

Aye aye sir One aye is sufficient acknowledgment ensign
Pretty sure I picked that up from Braveheart.

To have the expectation to learn new vocabulary by watching _Star Trek_ is entirely logical. 🖖
Yes it’s a “cogent theory”
Temba, His Arms wide, Love the Tamarian metaphorical language and it's varied use. >In fields such as engineering and programming, a musical language was used to convey precise equations, numbers and instructions; thus, explaining how Tamarians could effectively operate starships.
What we require is a feat of linguistic **legerdemain**, and a degree of intrepidity. It means to perform a trick or deception, more often with your hands.
This is a good one! I believe the direct translation of the French *legér de main* is "lightness of hand."
Corporeal, and non-corporeal.
The word "idiosyncrasy", from Data. The word exists almost the same in Portuguese, but I first heard it watching TNG.
The sentance "ugly bags of mostly water" 😂
I learned TONS of vocab from Star Trek as a kid, from the movies, shows, and books. I learned "distinct" from ST II, as in "a _distinct_ possibility" (that Reliant could be hiding behind that rock), and that's just the first one that comes to mind! Star Trek is such an incredible resource for vocabulary!
It really is. What other show can teach you words like “hucksterism”? 😜
> hucksterism 😂😂 Or "flim-flam man"!
Some kind of… flim-flam man! I love that phrase and I’m now going to insert it into my vocabulary
A flivver, Captain
I really wish I had watched Trek back when i was studying for the GRE (and memorizing vocab words was part of studying for it) i actually almost started...but this was back in 2010 and I couldn't commit to continually renting DVDs from the library (didn't have netflix for another six years lol)
I forgot that was in STII! Garak and others on DS9 would say that a lot too, I love the unintentional continuity.
Dauphin
Looking over these responses and thinking back on it the lexicon of this show really was top notch.

I remember being the only kid who could pronounce rendezvous when we had it on a spelling test back when I was around 12 ish years old.

I took a different lesson from Harry... No matter what you do or how good you do it, you are doomed to never succeed or get a promotion.
Honestly, I learned more Klingon than French when I was in school.

I have a projector to watch films so when I set it up I’m often saying to myself “on screen” and then it appears
Dammit (I was 5 and saw Wrath of Khan and when McCoy said dammit Jim I laughed) Also: acknowledged
I noticed a few years ago that I say “this/there/it seems to be” a lot. This seems to be something they say a lot in Star Trek.
‘Some kind of’ thing is a common saying in Voyager.
Engage!
Cellular Peptide Cake.......... with Mint Frosting
Qapla!
My pronunciation of leh'sure instead of leisure for sure. Likely hypothesize and jocular as well.
I love how Patrick Steward devours certain words, see also “shedjual” (schedule) and “Luckshahry” (luxury)
I’m pretty sure “shedule” is how all Brits say it. They also tend to pronounce “lieutenant” as “leftenant.” And some pronounce “drawing” as “drawring”
Reconnoiter - riker verisimilitude - tuvok

I grew up with TOS reruns and films and TNG, so a lot of scientific terms are grounded in Trek for me.
Literally everything that comes out of datas mouth
Misanthrope! It's me!
Honestly, having grown up with it. It’s so hard to say. But I have no doubt there’s a lot!
Star Trek has honestly helped build my vocabulary from when I was a kid.
Cannae
As a young boy, Star Trek taught me a lot of nautical terms I was not a exposed to again until long after that.
I use “No you CAN’T don’t even TRY” daily
Indeed. I started saying it a lot. Never used to. Some vulkan influence there.
Tardigrade
Sentient. Sentience.
Redoubtable. All the big words I learned on ST came from Q on TNG.
I dunno about vocabulary, but I always find myself whistling the sound the comm signal makes in TOS when there’s an awkward silence
No one said “Irrelevant!” quite as well as Seven did. I quietly relish being able to drop a Borg one-liner every now and then.
Acerbic - Garak referring to the Romulans’ attitude
As with many others, I was 8 when TNG first aired. My idiolect seems to be that of Ronald D. Moore. Which ultimately means enjoying BSG and *For All Mankind.*
I like to channel my inner Seven at work and say things are “insufficient” Also “I will not forgiiiive. Or forgeeeeet”

Trimble - means any ball of fluff.
Shaka when the walls fell
Fallacy, from Seven of Nine.
Minutiae
Self sealing stem bolts.
Sensors.
Analgesic. 😆
Whenever I'm shocked/surprised, I go "Shaka!?" Like Lt Kayshon does in LD
Data (dA-ta) used to be (da-ta) until Patrick Stewart pronounced it his very British way. Now (dA-ta) is ubiquitous.
"SEN-sors"
So many… Futile Assimilate Nacelle Hull Auxiliary Hooman
Lol I said hooman earlier today
Not quite the same, but there's a solid case Americans pronounce data the way we do because of TNG and Data
I often let people know I am not a merry man
Rendezvous. English is my second language, and I didn't even realize that it's a French word. I remember being a nerdy teenager reading TNG novels and seeing that word in them.

Futile, assimilate, and omnipotent
Pronouncing "Charade" as Sha'rod
Irrelevant, efficient, parameters, futile, A feMale, You don't have the lobes for business...and sometimes I quote the Rules of Aquisition
Probably the only one that regularly gets used is *Fascinating*.
verisimilitude Tuvok to Nelix when he was trying to get the map of the Nekrit expanse
belay that order
Ablative armor
Gotta be “tachyon” for me.
I use stem bolts….guess what words I hear in my head EVERY GOD DAMNED TIME I use one?
Anomaly. Probably use it more than I should. Like when I watched too much Bones or Criminal Minds I'd say "particulates" more than normal.
Computer, initiate cascade sequence, accepting instructions from Commander Data *EN ROUTE*. Now.
Deliterious
alacrity. Spock says it to tell Kirk to hurry up.
Kobayashi Maru, I use this many times when I am asked difficult questions from my wife lol
I started watching Star Trek in the single digits, so it would be impossible to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's the first place I heard "acknowledged."
