Fannish linguistic drift

In honour of me saying "kriffing hell" at work today without the slightest intention to and getting the strangest looks from co-workers, what fandom lingo has creep into your RL vocabulary?

“Frack” and “frell” from Battlestar Galactica and Farescape respectively, but they’re kind of intentional. I use “shiny” from Firefly unconsciously, though. Once a co-worker asked if "shiny" was from Firefly and it was the best day ever.

The only fictional interjection I'm embarrassed about is my tendency to say "Ay, shedonza!" in contexts where I need to seem like an adult. I'm not even that big of a Disney princess fan, it just wormed its way in there.
