I 'spect my speech has been infected with all manner of Firefly talk. It's said that I sound like a ruttin' town hall meetin' on Serenity. At work I say 'gorram' and 'and such', and 'is all' and 'go-se' and 'I'm kinda on the clock here, it's frustrating', but they all just look at me, funny-like.
I'm thinkin' I might need help, dong ma?

Not so much pharses from the show/ movie or Chinese, but I am quite skilled at getting my self into and out of trouble with Japanese!!! and yes it is my standard fall back for cusen. Not to mention I combine English and Japanese to make some interesting cuss words. All my Japanese friends love it and just start busting out in laughter at my style of cussen. I am a poor brown coat at the moment, but when I get some time/ money, series and movie are on my list not to mention X-mas wish list right now. So probably pick up more pharses. Still some reg ones you can't let go of ie CF : Now Ain't that a cluster F!!! etc.

Aw, Chrisisall, ya just gotta get yer coworkers involved, dong ma?
Dragged 'em all to see Serenity, and then loaned my dvds. It's a good thing, honest!
Only problem is that my boss has started lookin' straight at me and sayin' "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly comin' to a middle."
Kinda makes me wish I had Vera handy.

I've managed to memorize quite a few string of the Chinese swears, and say them when I'm really angry.

I don't use any particular words from the show but after my mom has just watched an episode she'll slip into wierd western talk... ie. "I'm of a mind to cook me a hot pocket"
wierds me out
"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here."

Uh... yes, I use shiny, gorram, ruttin', Dong Ma and... I'm trying to learn Mandarin because I feel my Chinese should go beyond swearing. :) The course is online but has native speakers pronouncing the phrases. So far i know how to spot the difference between Mandarin and other varieties of Chinese but that's about all. Its a Ducth /Chinese course so I won't post the link.

Turns out that one of the ESPN talkin' heads has also taken a shine to that phrase. (Can't remember which one off the top of my head, but I know someone uses it quite a piece...)

One weekend I decided to polish and wax my Ford (after neglecting it for a year) to get rid of the oxidized paint. After 2 hours and a bottle of cleanering wax, I told my mom to take look at my now reflective car, and she blurted out "Ooh, it's shiny!".
Then she looked at me and we both started laughing.

Oh Nandy, thank you for that -- I was crying I was laughing so hard. People were worried about me.
