In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.

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

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!'

BTW: ... that has got to be shittiest looking stereotypical Native person I've ever memed ... lol

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 ...

I have a female cousin that would have passed for Klingon ... she used to scream Ojibway/Cree obscenities when she got mad at her children

AH TAGUY! TAGUY! TAHK-GUY! AH-GUY!! SHOO-AH-GUY! TAHK-GUY! AHHH-GUY!!

(in case you're wondering ... Taguy means genitals and more specifically 'penis' - a very insulting way to yell obscenities in my language ... the variations are basically just saying ... penis, penis, big penis, little penis, a very big penis, penis, little penis .... and yes, she used to yell this at 100 decibels at her kids)

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