Topic!Cindy - Josh Whedon!
Okay, I see your point.
In actual fairness, I don't mind those kind of phrases in the context of Firefly talk. 'cause, you know, people use Buffy phrases in Buffy context a lot. Firefly wasn't on the air long, so it didn't get that many phrases (and Jayne hats... oh lord... They need to shoot more episodes so people forget about them).
Around the time of SERENITY's release, I saw a lot of comments along the lines of the movie poster should have been something like 'It's the gorram shiniest ship in the 'verse'. Which didn't work for me.
Truth to tell, I'm not all that fond of the folksy talk even when used by the actor in question outside his role, and I think he's at least put in enough time using it that it's almost a picked-up regional accent instead of an affectation.

Er. Yeah, that doesn't work work for me. Of course, neither does "Prepare for the ultimate action adventure" on the DVD.
use of frak or gorram...I have to shake my head and turn away.
I bet if the right guy used them you'd at least hesitate before turning away...
ita knows me so well. but I'd still shake my head.
eta - ita, did you get things from me last week?
I have no things! I feel bereft.
While it's being asked, msbelle, did you get a card from me either right before you left or when you got back?
Lee, yes I am pretty sure - before I left - monkey? right? - Thanks , sorry I didn;t mention it.
Well, crap ita, let me check my addresses.
right, monkey, and no worries, of course. It's not like you didn't have a few thousand (OMGSOGREAT) things on your mind.
