here's a trekkie one used in a technical setting... when we were debugging electronics on a complicated experiment and a circuit board didn't pass the "black smoke test" the phrase used was "It's dead Jim" or often abbrivated "IDJ"

We're waiting as fast as we can.


"A pharse I heard when I was a sprout in Indiana,"why does the poridge bird lay her egg in the air""



"Back East"- We used to use that phrase when I lived in Chicago, to refer to where unfortunates, like New Yorkers, lived. Then we moved to California. When I told my new classmates where I was from they said, "oh, back east."

"how can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?"
