I quote Firefly every day... saying gorram almost exclusively and using shiny so much that a few of my customers and our worker now use it.
I use "the special hell" sometimes under my breath when I'm particularly--- how shall I say this... I'm sure most wives will get this reference----uh "irritated" with my husband, lol.
Fireflyisms and "Mal-isms" have invaded my speech so much.
Over on the Appreciatin' Nathan crew we have a special section in our subforum to list all the ones we use and make up.
Yes, it's that bad!

I quote it 24/7. My non-browncoat friends have stopped asking me what I'm saying because they're so used to it. I mostly say "gorram" and "shiny" but I say "some people juggle geese" and "I think there may be a problem with your brain bein' missin'" But it's gotten to the point where I dont even know that I'm saying it. I just do. And if I'm in public, sometimes people look at me funny lol.

My problem is I want to quote it but usually in response to a student's annoying/ridiculous/inappropriate behavior and I'm not sure I should...
"Your mouth is talking...etc." was on the tip of my tongue once, but wasn't sure it was at all appropriate as the teacher to say! So I usually say lines in my head and it gets me through some tough classes!

Mal:We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

Oh I find any and every way to reference Firefly/Serenity in my daily life. Beyond just using Gorram and Shiny in my common vocabulary (it also made me comfortable using 'ain't' again--which I do use about as often as 'y'all' now).
General situations:
Person: Wait how do you know how women's clothing fits?
Me: You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle...
Me: That's interesting... And not of the "Oh God, Oh God, we're all gonna die" variety
Unfortunately I'm blanking on a lot of the other situations. Some of the really quotable and usable lines are stuff like:
"I aim to misbehave"
"Let's be bad guys"
"Mine is an evil laugh!"
"Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve violence? Or is this the wrong crowd?"
The "special hell" line
And the "'twixt my nethers" line.
Love that use of the "fertile land" line, though. So appropriate. KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.

Same here! I haven't converted anyone (yet!) in my little group of friends, but whenever I say something from Firefly, they'll kinda look at me oddly, then look away, shaking their heads. Anyone else who hears me, however, has no idea what the hell I'm saying.

I say shiny a lot, mostly at work when things are going well. I got my friend to say shiny now, but she says she reserves it for when things are going REALLY well. It makes me happy.

Ain't that just shiny?

Every time a qoute fits nicely into the conversation, and sometimes even when they don't. The one I'm using most at the moment though, is
"One of you is going to fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!" Mal, War Stories.
I have done Wash's first scene with his dinos so may time that my friend knew it off by heart, even before seeing it!
I love Wash! Bring back Wash!
