Do you do it? I do.
I have caught myself saying, "Shiny!" at work and then giggling to myself when no one understands.
I have even caught myself using "Gorrammit!" when angry...LOL
I also have used, "I'll be in my bunk" a lot. Again, I giggle to myself when I use it. :wink:

    I'm forever saying "shiny", and whenever someone says "interesting", I say "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?".

    One of my friends was in a work meeting and some announcement was made and another woman said, "Shiny." My friend started and the woman said, "Oh, you a Browncoat?" Shiny is like a secret code word.

    I have on occasion said, "While I don't disagree on any particular point..."

    i was eating fair food last summer and found myself saying "my food is problematic" b/c i had no hands and thus no way to eat my deep fried i'm-not-asking.

    Today I looked at a vegetable casserole (my favorite holiday dish) and informed my husband: "I aim to misbehave."

    I have sworn by my "pretty floral bonnet" more times than I can count.

    Also, I say, "Oh, grandpa" when I see something I like.

    I always throwing quotes out at work and all I get is blank stares. It's so disappointing.

    I saw, or at least think, "shiny" multiple times a day. At first I was worried, in a "what has my life become" sort of way, but now I just accept it, even if no one knows what I'm talking about.

    Shiny, by far my favorite. Gorram, and Gorramit come in on occations. :)

    Shiny comes out of my mouth often. As well as, "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" The latter directed at my bathroom scale when I've had a bad week *wry grin*

    Gorramit has most definitely been uttered at work.

    Bah hahaha! I use "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" at work on the reg. Mostly directed at a spreadsheet or some sort of report. I also like to bust out, "Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?" when someone breaks anything computer related on the job. Luckily my roomies are well versed in Firefly, so when I make random quotes they laugh along. Nerds unite! :bigsmile:

    Shiny and Gorram are common place. But I also bust out with the I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you when needed.
