In light of what other’s have been memeing … it made me think.

If you became captain of a ship, what would your warp slogan be?

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway-Cree (a dialect in between Ojibway and Cree … it’s neither one or the other, can kind of understand one and the other but not really)

    So my go to warp slogan would be … Eh-koo Mash-cha!! … basically a phrase that translates to just ‘Ok then … Let’s go!’

    BTW: … that has got to be shittiest looking stereotypical Native person I’ve ever memed … lol

        I can’t believe I missed that … I completely forgot about this scene and Mel Brooks dressed up as an Indian … it’s been years since I saw that movie … now I can’t stop laughing … my warp core has been ejected …

            I have a female cousin that would have passed for Klingon … she used to scream Ojibway/Cree obscenities when she got mad at her children

            AH TAGUY! TAGUY! TAHK-GUY! AH-GUY!! SHOO-AH-GUY! TAHK-GUY! AHHH-GUY!!

            (in case you’re wondering … Taguy means genitals and more specifically ‘penis’ - a very insulting way to yell obscenities in my language … the variations are basically just saying … penis, penis, big penis, little penis, a very big penis, penis, little penis … and yes, she used to yell this at 100 decibels at her kids)
