My CEO and I agreed to try talking more in Earth #Tamarian, to express memes or gifs as spoken text references. "Ron Paul, his arms wide!" "Dog with coffee, his home in flames", and "pikachu, his mouth agape", actually express a lot of what we need to say to each other.

Watching TNG's Darmok having full understanding of what the Tamarians are saying is quite amusing. During their first meeting through the viewscreen, the Tamarian first officer keeps telling his captain the humans are idiots and they should just leave ("Darmok!" "Shaka! Mirab, his sails unfurled!" "Darmok!" "Mirab!").
Then, later, the Tamarian captain is telling Picard that they're gonna do a Darmok and Picard's like "I'm not gonna fight you." So the Captain's replies "Fight me? You moron. No, I said we're doing a Darmok!" and tosses the knife to Picard who tosses it back even though they're doing a Darmok and Picard should really have a weapon of some kind.
I kinda wish there was more. I know we get a bit in Lower Decks, which is nice, but it would be nice to have it in a more serious series.

Ich schaue gerade eine Tierdoku. Gerade wurden Elefanten gezeigt. Einer von denen heißt Tembo.
Tembo, sein Rüssel lang.

I just used this gif and added the alt-text as "Kermit the Frog, his arms flailing" and I think I'm gonna do them like that for a while now. #Darmok
Temba, his arms open

@mikey @mdawild What I love is that I clicked "translate" and it popped up a "service unavailable" indicator. I know Mastodon, I know. #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #Darmok #FirstContactDay

Recently, I saw real #Darmok style communication in the wild. Someone mentioned seeing their work on TV or somewhere, and said they were "DiCaprio Pointing."
I love us. 😁

So, I got a text pretending to be from the former CEO of my company which has since been bought, and an office that hasn't existed for over a year. An old gift card scam. So, considering I rewatched the episode just his morning, I just couldn't resist... #Darmok #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG
