I think the vast majority of us fall into this situation in some way.

2. Using "frak," or Klingon, or both, instead of regular swear words - Yes, this is a marvelous way to avoid accidentally using real, English swear words in front of the kids. I suspect that's one of the reasons it can be annoying to others, though: it's like a loophole in the no-swearing-in-front-of-the-kids rule. I caught my wife using "frak" the other day, now that she's gotten into Battlestar Galactica, too (yes, just as it's about to end), but she claims to have done that just to make me smile and says it still annoys her when I do it. Still, I figure she'd be more annoyed by my using real swear words, so I think I'll stick with it.

Sure I'll pun but only when it's relevant.
I've never used "frak" or anything in Klingon besides Bat'leh.
I do go a bit craxy with certain holidays. Plus, since I like the idea, I will be cooking a rabbit this Easter.
I don't dissect movies and I loathe people who do.
Well you know me and t-shirts. NEXT!
I live with people who spend WAY too much time at Pier 1 and Target so the "Geeky Things" are confined to my room.
As long as I'm proving myself right, sure I'll look stuff up mid conversation. Especially when there's a WAP.
I don't do a whole lot of TV that isn't a cartoon so... NEXT!
Again geeky projects are confined to my room.
I need to start slapping people. WITH HAMMERS!

What kind of dining set defines me as a person?
