Haha, when I slip into old-western slang, my mom rolls her eyes and goes, "Stop talking like Firefly."
If I were you, I'd start callin' her Vera behind your hubby's back. 
he'd never know, 'less he snuck up on you someday.

Phrases or a way of speaking. I'm not sures of a what else I pick up. But I've gotten into the bad habit of naming my things after the cast (like Jayne does with his weapons).
Now, you've got my interest. Lots of people have names for cars, but what are you naming, and what's their name? I'm mighty curious.
Well, my laptop's Jayne, my car is Hoban "Wash" Washburne, and my PC is Zoe (Like a Motherfuting Tank)
Funny thing about Wash...

*Thinks about Wash-the Car*
Me: "Damn it! Why did I have to name you Wash?!"
Bud: "Don't think about it"
Me: "I can't! Gahh!! WHYYY???!!!!"
*Talk about something else. Silence again*
Me: "....Damn it!"
I was like this for a good solid couple of months.

I can understand how Wash the Car would be very difficult to drive home in from Serenity. Although, it must be reassuring now to know that Wash lives on in your car.

Indeed. Though I worry how I can transfer the essence of Wash whenever I need a new car.

Myself, I've only picked up a couple, being as I'm relatively new to Firefly/Serenity (although I like what I've seen so far).
My main one is saying "I am a leaf on the wind" any time I'm up against some particularly stiff competition in any of the games I play (but mostly in Initial D v3 or UnWheel).

My husband and I are both huge fans so we quote the show frequently to each other. I've started asking my children about terrifying space monkeys whenever I find that a bomb has exploded in their room. Although, in retrospect, that may be why they're having nightmares.
And lastly, I've noticed that lately I am drawn to object that have Asian flair (clothes, decorative items, even dishes). It's not intentional, more subconscious. But I'm pretty sure I picked it up from all the beautful things on Firefly.
