Well, I can't spell non-geek words either.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"My Furry Valentine" [link] was not the best choice for a name.
Oh dear - it's for a photo contest. I bet they get lots of interesting pictures.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I always use "some people juggle geese" when I'm discussing a thing people may do that I may find odd, but doesn't really hurt anyone or offend me. e.g. The fetish chart includes toy boats...some people juggle geese.
I use "SPOOOOOOON!" indiscriminately, so I don't even know.
Also, when someone asks me a question they obviously want a certain answer to, particularly in the face of clear evidence that it's unlikely the right answer I usually tell them the answer they want to hear, so that they can reply with a hopeful "Really?" so that I can then say, "Not really, no."
I can't even tell you how many of Marvin The Paranoid Andriod's lines we use.

I say, "That'll do, pig," all the time!
Me too!

Heh. Didn't mean to be critical - I just get nit-picky over random things.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The movie quote I say all the time is "That'll do pig. That'll do.". But then no one knows what I am talking about, and think I am insulting them by calling them a pig.
I say this too, but usually only to myself when I accomplish a task (like when I finished shoveling and parking my car yesterday).
I love seeing Wash represented there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Not only thaw it, but then press it between paper towels to get the excess water out of it, or else you might have too much liquid in your batter and the bread might be funky. Learn from my tragic mistake.
Ah, excellent call. But isn't that just the moisture that was supposed to go into the bread anyway? Science is hard.
It's possible that my zucchini had been frozen for an excessively long time, and a lot of frost/ice crystals/glaciers had built up on it, and so all that permafrost thawed with the zucchini and resulted in excess moisture. All I know is that the bread that resulted was...not pleasing.

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

I hope he's in his bunk with her.
