The Vulcan salute is not the easiest hand gesture in the world. For some reason, I can do it perfectly with my left hand, but I cannot do it at all with my right hand. That's pretty ironic because I am right-handed. Apparently, I'm not alone because a lot of Star Trek actors have also struggled with the salute, having to pre-position their fingers off-camera to get it just right. 

Like so many great Star Trek things, the salute was created by Leonard Nimoy himself. It was inspired by a Jewish blessing called the Priestly Blessing. When he was a boy, he saw the blessing (which uses similar finger positioning to the salute) performed at an Orthodox synagogue, and it clearly stuck with him through the years. Today, the salute is so iconic that it even has its own emoji! If you've spent countless hours perfecting your Vulcan salute because you're a real Star Trek fan, these Star Trek memes will help you live long and prosper.

    tubofgoodthings Follow I can't even begin to imagine how many episodes would be improved just by Picard giving a stumbling, awkward exposition of the episode's plot to the crew starryoak Follow ALL episodes could be improved if we saw Picard's awkward, stumbling exposition to the crew of what's going on that episode. In fact, I really wanna see that. nonotimetoulouse "Attention crew, this is your captain speaking. You may notice my voice sounds different, and uh, long story short, I'm 12 again.

    astrangergivingthestrangewelcome Follow I just think that TNG's "The Most Toys" goes incredibly hard like Data gets kidnapped by this sociopathic man who treats him like an object and Data is aware that no one is coming to rescue him because they think he's de d. And like it was a network TV show so nothing TOO f ed up was shown but the vibes of Fajo were truly completely rancid. Like that comment about how he'd be happy to see Data walk around naked? Get my boy the F out of there. And after day

Martok, they were causing you a level of pain equivalent to a kick to the groin. Listen to me, you quack petaQ! I EARNED that shrapnel in glorious battle. And you took that away from me! You owe me pain, Doctor. Well I can't "un-heal" your wounds, so... Glorious! Would you like me to kick you in the groin? DAILY! Um, do you have any specific reque

    This show shouldn't be The Next Generation. It's been like 85 years. By any reckoning that's several generations. What? We should be on "Star Trek: A Subsequent Generation". Keiko... what the fl are you talking about?

    You know, Dukat, someone ought to teach you a lesson. If it's a lesson in love, watch out. I suffer from a very learning disability. What did I call it, Damar? Ugh... Sexlexia.
