why not? :) it's a usage of a quote in everyday conversation isn't it?

....dammit...I used a quote yesterday, and I totally can't remember what it was. :-P I'll think of it. ;)

I think alot of us probably quote firefly more than we realize... it just gets worked into your way of speaking.
I use alot of jayne quotes... "... worth of a turd". I like his response to the doctors question about tearing apart the infirmary to find tape... "apparently..." there's just something about the way he says it that makes me giggle. I've also started doing that arms crossed/finger tapping thing when he was being questioned by alliance in bushwacked.
I used "big happy family" today at work... and I'm with BULLET0IN0THE0BRAINPAN0SQUISH, I use the GRR ARGH! alot!!!

Isn't firefly just the best thing in the world?!?!

Some other faves...
"looks like this is the place"
"to-wa-ba-who?"
"to much hair"
"Noahs ark is a problem..."
"I cried like a baby, a hungry angy baby"
"you're all kinds a pleasin'"
"wa... is it Christmas? What happened about me?"

And one of the best ever...
"How drunk was I last night? ... I don't know I passed out..."

Most commonly: "Looks like," followed by "Now that's just downright unsettlin'." When I say "looks like," I'm not even quoting Wash any more, it's just one of the phrases I use.

Alas, "shiny," and "gorram" have not entered my usual vocabulary, although I do say "frack" a lot, to borrow another invented swear word.

haha I use "now that's just downright unsettlin'." quite a bit, especially when my boyfriend shows me something disturbing that he found online @_@

lolololololololol. major uses of quotes at drill today.
Me and a friend from my shop went to go visit our friend Ryan (avid firefly/serenity fan, lent me Firefly when I hadn't seen it) in his shop. Well, my friend Pete said we were all folk in the same situation or sumthin like that, and Ryan goes "War's long done, we're all just folk now." to which I replied "Listen up! We're coming down there to empty that vault!' -- 'yeah, when you give me your authorization password.'" then after a pause because we had no sound effects, Ryan said "..okay!" and we started laughing, no one else there had any idea what we were talking about, lol.
While we were visiting, the conversation SOMEHOW took a very inappropriate turn, like, worse than Jayne inapporpriate if that's possible (everyone else there was of the male variety, lol, not saying that all men are pigs, just a minority of the ones in the room). One of the guys said something very wrong, and Ryan said "that's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth." He and I were, again, the only ones laughing.
During the wrongness of the context of the conversation, one of the guys said something that almost made me throw up in my mouth a little bit, and I just looked at him, shook my head, and said "I'm trying to think of a way you could be cruder...it's just not coming." Then gave myself props for the perfect usage. :D fun times, fun times, it was a shiny day.

I hate to admit it but I do use 'Shiny' an awful lot, and 'Dong ma?'
I'm working up to cussing in Mandarin - never quite found an occasion for it yet.

lol, today in my classics class my professor was reading from this book a guy wrote in which he encounters cannibals, and he was talking about how they eat people alive, and I didn't say it aloud, but thought it in my head "eating people alive? where's that get fun?" and started chuckling to myself. fortunately he didnt hear me.
