Sci/Fi Vocabulary
Posted By: Timmer @ 1144 on 2008-04-30

Words/Phrases you’ll start using after watching certain Sci/Fi Fantasy Shows:

BSG: Frak. Fraking, Get Fraked. Skin job. Toaster.

Firefly/Serenity: Shiny. Gorram. It’s broken…can’t be fixed. You can’t stop the signal. I aim to misbehave.

Buffy/Angel: That would be wrong. Gives me the wiggins.

Farscape: Frell, Frelling, Get Frelled.

Star Trek: Beam me up.

Those are just off the top of my head. Add any that you use or have heard used and I’ll keep building on this.

  3. It’s unfair - I was calling things (and especially women) “shiny” years before that damned show.

    (I do, however, like “damaging my calm”.)

    (Also, when I say “Indeed!” it’s David Lo-Pan, damn it.)
