was talking about expressions and turns of phrase that we use and undertsand what they mean even if we dont know their origin [think 'bite the bullet'/'kick the bucket'/'the whole 9 yards']
and i think money expressions are like that for younger federation folks in trek,
like some kid on tng enterprise is like "i don't get paid enough for this!" when theyre exasperated and deanna trys so hard not to lose it
when i have a crush i dont kick my feet or twirl my hair instead i am in my kitchen at 3am pacing in circles with my hands clasped behind my back like a middle-aged divorced detective haunted by a cold case he just cant crack
