I've not been into it for very long, but I felt like a real 40k nut when I was with some friends, going out drinking and one of them opened the door, gestured for me to enter before him and I said "How very initiative 1 of you."
He didn't play 40k, and thus did not get it, but risking social exile, I said it anyway, lol.

In my world mythology class we were talking about a god who was man and woman and all i could think of was Slannesh. I accidently wrote Slannesh in the paper about that god. The teacher was not immused

When I was hired at my last job as a librarian, I felt I should have psychic powers... :(

My aunt is a librarian....I always assume she would shoot lightning out of her hands if she got mad...

Trying out an old submachine gun at a local range by firing in the vague direction of targets and yelling "DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!"

Turns out I mostly shot up the walls. Well, that's what you get with BS2.

Also, quoting "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword," every time I enter a vehicle.

You sir. Are a tit. Well done. What was the class reaction?

Ever since becoming Chaplain of the BSA troop i am in. I wear a skull shoulder pad and I carry a stick to make a point. (NO joke)
I preach that it is our fault and that god is ours savior and that we must use our faith as our shield against the enemies we face! then I started yelling for the emperor. Kinda funny actually if you think about it I have been trying to find chaplain armor to wear rofl.

rofl, I want to be in this class.

Every time I see artwork depicting rain or teardrops I think they're drop pods.
When I trip and fall I think that I rolled a 1 on my run move.
I think of my ability to get things done around test time as having a leadership of around 5.

having the song featured in this video stuck in your head is a clear sign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqinPt-vN54&feature=related

That is Awesome, although it wouldnt have the same effect if you teach 5year olds.
On the other hand if you teach 15 yearolds and the geek up the back started laughing that just takes it to a whole different level of awesome.

That's just win.

I'm the Resident Assistant in my dorm at university (basically a hall monitor and role model for the freshmen). One time this room had their door closed with the music blasting. So I start pounding on the door, but the music is so loud they can't hear me knocking. I think to myself "where is a thunder hammer when you need one?" lol.

Oh and I've occasionally said "for the love of holy terra" in front of my friends. They didn't get it, and that was ok.

I got into a fight one time and I kept calling everyone terrans and they all thought i was talking about starcraft.....

I was lying in bed with my girlfriend watching tv, the dvd remote wasn't working so i thought it needed batteries until i noticed a 40k figure blocking the little light. I could have said "oh i see, a model is blocking some of the signal or something" but no, I decided to say "OHHHH the dvd has a 4+ cover save!" Luckily my girlfriend doesn't know enough about warhammer to know what i was referring to... our relationship might not have survived that hit

+1 to Win

Every time the word titan is mentioned I immediately think WARHOUND, REAVER, WARLORD OR EMPEROR CLASS?

me and a friend where roleplaying inquisitors in minecraft, With a third none warhammer playing friend in the chat room. he had NO IDEA what was going on

...When the word 'feth' and 'gak' has actually replaced the curses dakka blocks in your vocabulary.

I had a dream I cut open one of the boxy looking robots from "Runaway" with a chain fist and then shot it with a plasma pistol while I laughed maniacally.

My friend and I would roughhouse alot in highschool. I went to the nurses office which required me to walk down a spiraling staircase I rarely ever used.
I hear footsteps coming up the other end and begin to make room to the other person to pass. I take the turn and find myself face to face with my friend.
There was a moments hesitation as we consindered what actions to take. He moved much faster than I and lept at me. He puts me in a choke hold,
holds a pen up next to our faces with his thumb raised and shouts "For the EMPEROR!!" then he presses his thumb down likes he's blowing himself up.
We laughed for a few minutes until we were yelled at for loitering in the stairwell. We still joke about it to this day. And it's been like 12 years.

Funnier when you know it's actually Saint Celestine and that Celestina was (according to Google at least) a real saint.

Shouting "For the Emperor" as a dodgeball battlecry.

Toughing out pain by thinking that a space marine wouldn't even be slowed by worse.

I knew I was a 40k nut long before this, but here's a recent funny example: I skipped out on a first date to play 40k with a friend of mine. We're tentatively rescheduling it for sometime in the future, but I'm sure as hell not telling her what my "prior commitment" was.

Oh, and one time I was at a concert and someone pulled out some bag pipes, and my friend beside me was saying "argh I think my head's going to explode", to which I said "He's casting Mind War, roll your die quick!" He didn't have a die on him, but if he did I'm 100% certain he would have rolled it haha.

Anyway, on top of that I say "feth" and "FOR THE EMPEROR!" all the time, it's become a part of my circle of friends' lexicon (including the ones who have no idea what it's about).

would be even better if you got hit and asked to mke a 3+ armour save lol

I was at work and went down to the canteen for my break. I went to the vending machine with a colleague and it was working, I placed my hand on it and said 'Machine, heal thyself'. It didnt work and she looked at me like I had Leprosy. I was think.....Dude! What the fudge!

It seems to me that a lot of you guys are saying something to the tune of "If my friends got the reference, I would have been screwed" but that kind of wierds me out. What kind of lobotomized world do you guys live in where "I guess it has a 4+ cover save" or something similar DOESN'T sound nerdy, even without context?

When I wrote my college entrance paper about 40k....and got into some very good schools.

When I am angry I should BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

...oh right, I wrote a paper 2 years ago about DakkaDakka and got an A on it if I remember correctly.

Man, I have a lot more of these than I realized at first.
