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

Go-go Gadget Starship!
Both nacelles fly off the main ship and cartoonishly dangle off the craft with big giant springs
“Don’t forget to smash that warp button”
A google ad appears on the main viewer advertising some new heart drug … everyone eagerly waits five seconds to skip the ad before the ship can go to warp
“Please set your subspace cookie preferences for this warp”
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
Yesssssss! I have the movie poster on my wall :)
Ludicrous Speed!
He’s gone Argyle!
Leeeeerrooooyy Jennnnkinnnssss!
Alright chums, let’s do this!
Pitter patter, let’s get at 'er
Captain Batel approves.
Ive been a car guy my whole life so Id have to have a few depending on what warp rating we were looking at.
“Helm, Warp 3, Just a nice drive in the country”
“Helm, Warp 5. Chirp the tyres”
“Helm! Warp 7. Dump the clutch!”
“Helm! WARP 9! SEND IT!”
Who gave Tom Paris a ship?
Engineering has been instructed to use 20th century automotive terms to convey messages
“Sir, we’re out of gas”
“Sir, the carbs are dirty and we need to clean them”
“Sir, the throttle cables are stretched and we need to replace them”
“Sir, we gotta go to the garage for a new alternator”
“Sir, we need to refill the headlight fluid”
Instead of Scotty in engineering I want an old man from Texas.
Instead of “I cannae hold her captain, she’s gonna blow” id get “If you lean on this sumbitch ay harder cap, the warp core gon have a new inspection port!”
Alternately, shouting WARP ME in intense situations with an added slam to the arm rest.
PORK CHOP SANDWICHES!
The smell of bacon fills up engineering as the warp core powers up
“Do it for daddy!”
I always said “Hit it” but then Pike used it in strange worlds. Not sure now.
Still bugs me that, in the more recent movies, Pike said “Punch It”. Would have been so easy to keep that for the show.
Zhu Li, do the thing!
Appa, yip yip!
Just nice and simple, ENGAGE!
Nothing happens ???
Sir, there’s been an unexpected flash mob in engineering led by the Lt. Commander who proposed to one of his junior officers.
Cut life support the engineering, wait 10 minutes, send in the b team.
My warp command would be:
“Kick the tires and light the fires, warp 9 ensign”
No one seems to have a catch phrase for engaging the transporter. Mine would be:
“Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.”
What a guy!
Stoke meba clipper, or whatever
If I had any money I’d be sipping jippers on a beach somewhere.
Don’t wait for my order, just go when we’re ready
15 minutes of awkward silence … the captain at their chair … Officers standing around … Helmsman tapping away at their screen
Wouldn’t that be kinda like normal operations? Like 99% of the time they are just traveling from A to B with very little to do in between.
Und los!
Ein deutscher Kapitän!
Alarm! Alle Mann nach vorn! Warpen!
Let’s outrun some photons.
It’s a little wordy, but this is my favourite one here.
Let’s fucking goooooooo, gamers!
Let’s get frisky with physics.
Rücksturz zur Erde. Schöne Grüße von der Orion!
Ein wahrer Klassiker!
Dazu die passende Musik einer Lieblingsband von mir:
Ensign Smith, bend the rules!
Engineering confirming the order: Right You Are Ken!
Punch it Chewie
I’ve thought about it and still have no clue lol
Make us go.
Thursday is Pakled day:
“Make ship go!”
Honestly I like Lorcas slogan. Very simple and to the point. “Go.”
Cheese it!

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!’

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 …

And then you are going to add “we are far from the bones of my ancestors”?
