I do find myself saying, rather bizarrely, "Kwong-chee duh" a lot ... and then when a colleague looks at me funny I say “it’s just nuts” all Wash like (‘cept me bein’ a girl and all) …

I also quite scarily tend to pepper my thoughts, if not my speech, with go-se, pigu, shwai and guay not to mention tah mah duh!

It all got out of hand once I started writing fanfic and was thinking about dialogue a whole gorram lot – now its all quite fong luh …

I got into Firefly via my boyfriend's buddy Dante and I've noticed now that when I've over there, Dante will randomly say a Firefly phrase. I'm very entertained every time it happens.

I've also been noticing a few Firefly phrases creeping into my own speech. Nothing too specific, but an appropriate quote here and there... :)

You know a show has great writing when you constantly want to quote it.

I've started to use Gorram and Shiny both on Forums and in RL

I also sometimes use Frack and Felgercarb from Battlestar Galactica :D

"Shiny" is definitely one I enjoy. I'm trying to teach my boyfriend the right meaning for it, but he hasn't seen all of Firefly yet. There are a few others that I sorta pick up on, but Shiny is the biggie.

I’ll use shiny and gorram here and there, but I’m always letting my friends know that their going to the special hell. And,"I'll be in my bunk."

Well, I use shiny, but I was using that before I watched firefly (When I first heard them say it on the show, I was completely dumbfounded). Every so often I yell go se when I get frustrated as well.

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.
