Shiny (rather than "Cool"), gorram, ruttin, etc, of course... But I find myself saying "Where does THAT get fun?" a lot.. a doc friend of mine was telling me about having to pull a shot-glass out of a guy's Butt in the ER (the guy had shoved it in there somehow), and I just HAD to say, "Shoving a shotglass up your @$$? Where does THAT get fun?"
I think Firefly/Serenity is THE most "Quoteable" show I've seen. There's a quote for just about every occasion.
..and I've used "My Days of not taking you seriously are quickly coming to a middle" MANY times.
I even got to say once, "Did the Gorram Bug shield on my truck just fall off for no reason?"

I did once manage to pull off - but only under my breath to myself - when clicking on a link that turned out unexpectedly to be a PDF file:
"Tai-kong suo-yo duh shing-chiou sai-jin wuh duh pee-goo was I ever not ASKING for ACROBAT READER!"

Also ta mah dah! or ai ya hwai leh!when I want to curse and not be understood.

Pardon me, but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a good gorramn!

Not half an hour ago, I said to a coworker who gave me a pat on the back, "It's what I do, darlin', it's what I do."
I've schemed about "outing" any nearby flans in public places by loudly saying things like "shiny" or "gorramit." Or inquiring at stores if they have any Fruity Oaty Bars. Haven't tried it, though.

Shiny. Gorram. Ta ma duh. Bee Jway.
Ain't that a joyful sight.
I've started to tell my children, "You are damaging my calm."
And from John Sayles' Passion Fish, "It's a joke, Precious." (Very funny and touching movie with Mary McDonnell and Alfre Woodard.)

Actually, when I use "shiny" nobody seems to notice. 'Course, almost everyone I know has seen the show... (Or they will... [EVIL LAUGHTER])
"We may experience some slight turbulence, and then... explode."

I use all the regulars: Shiny, shindig, etc..but I also like to quote the Godfather films ("our true enemy has yet to reveal himself..."), the Simpsons (especially Mr. Burns), and just about any other movie I've seen...People think I'm funny and creative, but I just have a good memory... :D
Time for some thrilling heroics.
