I don't even play chaos. ><

A friend of mine gave me a shirt with the 4 symbols of chaos on it, and I wore it today. I've had some irritating things happen, and have had a continual urge to scream "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!" and do something violent. Is it just me? Anyone else out there who finds an application for 40k in their lives?

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

With most first-person shooters, I usually mention there not being enough dakka...

<Not sure if this exactly counts as everday life.><

My friend's senior quote was "For The Greater Good".

I don't really apply 40k in my life, I think your just crazy.

**dementedwombat**

I think I might use a 40k quote for my yearbook, the hard part would be finding one the school would accept.

I do find myself pretending to be a Titan princeps a little too often. My most memorable experience was when I was taking a final exam. I finished the test and was daydreaming until it was time to turn them in. Ends up that I dreamed a little too long and I was the last one to get up. A classmate poked me on the shoulder and I jumped out of my seat shouting something to the effect of "Hard return, moderati get me a firing solution".

That got a few odd looks.

I am ALWAYS saying "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

**warpcrafter**

I use 40K quotes fairly often. Mostly "Only the insane have strength enough to prosper, and only those who prosper truly judge what is sane.", things like that. People think I'm quoting some ancient philosopher. I just chuckle and play along.

**mythological**

I often say 'Do it for the Greater Good' to people after I ask them to do a task

More than once I have caught myself from screaming 'For the Emperor!' into my mic on Xbox Live

**Dashofpepper**

Thought begets heresy...

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

I have used "Innocence proves nothing" quite a few times.

**Cryonicleech**

"A plea of innocence in this court is guilty of wasting my time"

Said every now and then.

"Honor the Emperor with victory!"

Said only once, during a particularly rough outdoor sport.

"HERESY!"

Said (or yelled) whenever possible.

**KingCracker**

I do sometimes, but my oldest brother likes to screw with my other brother. My brother Shane, hates 40k with a passion. So any time he says anything remotely close to anything in 40k, my oldest brother changes his words to something from 40k.
Its really funny

**Osyr**

With Nurgle as my witness, with Nurgle as my witness they're not going to defeat me! I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never fear death again! No, nor any of my folk. If I have to burn, maim, infest or kill! With Nurgle as my witness, I'll never fear death again!

**wuestenfux**

Praise the Emperor.
I use this phrase sometimes in sms/emails to my RTT buddies.

**IvanTih**

I only use the cool quotes like innocence proves nothing or the Emperor quote which he says at the end of the collected visions.

**Bramnero**

Not often, but occasionally I say a quote from Dawn of War, things like "It shall be so" or "I am honoued you require my skill"

**TheTrueProtoman**

SMASH 'DEM WOT IS TRYIN TA HURT DA' KERNAL!

**Cryonicleech**

I too use Ork Accents for things.

Fun fun fun!

**Monster Rain**

"Heresy grows from idleness" gets thrown around my house quite a bit... It's a adorable when my six year old daughter says it!

**Morgrim**

I have a friend who uses 'KILLMAINBURN' whenever someone commits tech heresy in front of him. We have pointed out the irony of this. Then again, he did fix my mp3 player by opening it, finding nothing wrong with it, closing it, still not working, pray to the Omnissah, and it suddenly came back to life.

Said friend also keeps calling me a heretic and threatening to turn me in to the Inquisition. >.> *grins*

I use the 'Only the insane have strength enough to prosper, and only those who prosper truly judge what is sane' quite a bit. Usually as justification of whatever I've just done.

'Blood for the blood god' said in a calm, dismissive manner whenever I cut myself doing hobby work. The tone of voice alone would piss off Khorne.

'They appreciate my handiwork. I hear their joy in every scream,' and other DE quotes tend to be be used far too much by me. And other quotes I use fit in with DE until it is hard to tell which is which...

**Henners91**

I vaguely recall one drunken night where I pissed off all my friends as we were walking back through town to our halls by repeatedly saying things like "On Alert Brothers, the enemy must be nearby!" or "Ever vigilant..."

I've found myself saying "Zog it!" in day-to-day conversation.

Erm, FOR THE EMPEROR is obviously a must in all situations.

Heresy grows from idleness?

**Tyyr**

I refer to my kids as "My little heretics."

Ouch. Sorry, that one was dirty, but in my class, jokes like that is normal (like if someone says it`s warm, someone else says "Ooh, it`s getting hot in here!").

**03bbrevenge**

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD is something that I occasionaly use in other games

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

If people are protesting against my actions, I'll usually scream "KHORNE CARES NOT FROM WHENCE THE BLOOD FLOWS, MERELY THAT IT DOES!!"

I usually say "Innocence proves nothing" as a comeback.

"Impurity shall be my armour" is something I will also say at random intervals. Go figure

.

**vodo40k**

When my internet was acting up I referred to it as "the machine spirit is feeling sentimental"

When I welcome a friend to my house with "Welcome to the atrium brother, there is fenrisian ale on tap in the refectory."

When you start DREAMING that earth (as it is now) was inducted into the Tau empire.

"hope is the first step to disappointment" and "an open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded" are both common sayings.

**shrike**

i am sometimes overheard during battles saying things like:
"by the emperor it shall be so"
"die xenos scum!"
"target sighted, left of the crater."
"whatever the cost, armaggeddon must not fall"
"waaagh!"
"kill dat big fing wot is zoggin' at da boys"
and, most commonly, "for the emperor!"
and various IG orders like "first rank fire! second rank fire!"

**Condai**

haha, all of those I use too, and I also use the 4+ joke xD

**warpcrafter**

I occasionally find myself, during especially thrilling action sequences in pack movie theaters saying things like "Wow, he rolled all 6's that time!" or "He had a 2+ and still missed?" Or if the bad guy just won't die "Damn, how many wounds does that sumbitch have anyway?" I once overheard somebody behind may say "How many 20's do you have to roll to not wiff that?".

**oggers**

I used 'for the greater good' in coversation and find the word 'throne' slipping in occasionlly.

**Iron Gryphon**

Every now and then a random saying will pop into my conversations, usually when I am talking to myself. There was a time last year though, that I was trying to replace every bad word with Throne. It worked whenever I caught myself, which wasn't so often.

**DarkHound**

You have no idea how often "BlOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" comes up in my social circles. Most of those people have never even heard of Warhammer, though, so take it or leave it.
