Oooh, ooh, I want to participate too :3

When the hull is down: nonononoonononononononono (with a increasing pitch) --- followed by "FISHSTICKS!" and random rambling if we happen to die there. Also, fiddlesticks.

When I ram things: "Le boop." Add falsetto to the boop.

If I manage to scratch my hull with the buildings/mountains: "TIS BUT A SCRATCH!"

Oh, and when I get a kill: "Hahauv!" (How does one accentuate sounds in text? Meh. It is "Haha!" with an accent, "come fly with me" if you wanna hear it :3 I promise biscuits, tons of cheese and hydrogen uppercuts. )

Indeed.

I saw this post and figured I'd add my lingo into the mix ^_^;

"Running Silently" - Keep the ship fully repaired, buffed, chemsprayed, and on the look out for targets, but don't shoot them.
"Battle Stations" - Everyone needs to get where they should be during a combat encounter, cause there's about to be one in the next 30 seconds.
"Buff-run" - Buff engineers buff the entire ship ASAP
"No ____" - The enemy shouldn't have whatever is in that blank within the next 10 seconds, usually a component (i.e. "No Lumberjack" = "Take out the Lumberjack ASAP").
"Sharp-shoot" - Snipe out any and all enemy components at close range.
"I need ___!"/"I need ___ yesterday!" - Fix the component...Now.
"Where's my ____?!" - Usually translates into "Why isn't that particular gun firing?"

My other commands are a bit more "generic" and have been included in the previous posts, like "kerosene/moonshining", "butt-ram", "sitting/goomba-stomp", "uppercut", etc.

EDIT: Thought of one more
"I'm putting you in time-out!" - Usually said to a 2nd Gunner, or a Gunner that isn't listening. I turn the ship around entirely so they don't have gun-archs, and stay like that until they do as they're told, even at the cost of showing our backs to the enemy >_>;

I thought a chemspray test was a friendly fire mine.

That is just a mine calibration test.

"Remember, I'm a horrible person.": when I bring mines.
*maniacal laughter*: I just mined an ally, or anyone in general.
"[SHIPNAME] TWERK!!!!!": Ramming something with the back of the ship.
"How good are you with a lumberjack?": the ultimate question for my gunners. ALL THE TIME.
*Random singing*: I'm in a good mood.

"Enemy [rock/building/other terrain] sighted on [port/starboard/ahead]!": I'm going to crash into something, or possibly have just crashed into something.

"Tactical bounce": any time I crash into anything for any reason.

This. When I hit things and it spins me around just fine, that's when the 'all-planned' comes out.

Also, I have a habit of saying 'engines burning' for either kero/moonshine, as well as explaining my battle plans in a few short words.  :P

Ala - "engines burning claw left hydro front guns" is something I know I have said to a crew of newbies before. They did remarkably well given the obscurity.  :-[

"Shoot, he is trying to divide by zero" When ever another ship rams my ship and we don't bounce off and he continues to grind into my ship.
