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.
And we live to fight another day.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.
Er. Yeah, that doesn't work work for me. Of course, neither does "Prepare for the ultimate action adventure" on the DVD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
While it's being asked, msbelle, did you get a card from me either right before you left or when you got back?

right, monkey, and no worries, of course. It's not like you didn't have a few thousand (OMGSOGREAT) things on your mind.

What is even happening?
Topic!Cindy - Josh Whedon!
Right, but you can hear the difference between Josh Whedon and Joss Whedon, if you listen. And maybe that's my point you see. I'm going to over explain though, because it's my gift, and my daughter's finishing up her homework (EXTRA LATE) which is delaying the bedtime of all three kids, and it's re-run season.
Damn, is pronounced dam, which I only mention, because gorram(n) is a corruption of goddamn.
(In other words, the N isn't audible, is it?)
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.
I don't think I liked gorram(n) when the show was on the air, but there was so little of the poor show, the slanguage never twigs me, now.
