Captain Kirk Says "Sabotage" Video

Not the Beastie Boys, but William Shatner's rather unique method of pronunciation. This is the source of that joke in "Mystery Men" when Ben Stiller says "Don't correct me. It sickens me." Check Google for the whole story.

Pay particular attention to how Leonard Nimoy seems to stress the word in question... almost as if he had to endure it being mangled time and time again.

You can? kind of tell that this isn't the first take. Listen to the way Nimoy says it. It's like he's trying to say to Shatner, "this is how you say it Baldy!"

It's a running joke about Kirk's quirk with the word "sabotage". In STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, Lieutenant Valeris suggests indirectly that Uhura ignore an order radioed from Starfleet. She refers? to the origin of the word, where workers whose livelihood was threatened by machines threw their wooden shoes, or "sabots", into the gears of the machine, thus causing sabotage. SHE pronounced it correctly. Uhuru decided that communications were inoperative.

It's explainable ...
It's explainable because Shatner grew up? in Montreal, Quebec. In French, the second a in "sabotage" is pronounced the same as the first! If he heard the word only in French, or more often in French than in English, it might have influenced him.

At a Phoenix, AZ Trek convention, George Takei said? the voice actors for the animated series read the scripts cold, and alone on a sound stage, without the other actors to react to. It made it difficult to know how to inflect the dialogue correctly.

The original french word may be closer to the way he says it, however, in the english language the correct? way to say it is the way spock does. We took the french word and made it our own. That is why it is correct (If you want to get in detail) However it's still f**kin hilarious XD
