/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

There is no medicine that can cure stupidity.
Well begun, is half done.
Idioms
Spoons after supper (too late to bring something up)
hang noodles on the ears (try to fool someone)
like a fifth leg for a dog (something useless)
don’t say ‘wheee’ before jumping over the ditch (too early to brag about something)
sitting like they were just kissed (to be lost and disoriented)
walking like they just sold the land (to be sad)
catch the corner (to grasp the meaning)
my roof is riding away (I am losing my mind)
it’s a fact like a pancake (something easy to accept)
to pour from an empty container into a leaky one (to talk without saying anything meaningful)
go and visit the dwarves (visit the bathroom)
like a finger in the eye (to say something accurate)
it left on the dog’s tail (a plan that failed)
cutting a mushroom (to do useless work)
to shepherd the eyes (look at something nice)

Thanks.
Here's my favorite bit of Americana.
"Chin music."
Needless chatter, as when sports fans jeer the opposition.
Or, specifically in baseball, to throw a pitch near the batter's face to intimidate them.
