Enterprise-A

A much-cherished item which is destroyed but is promptly replaced by a virtually identical copy of the destroyed item.

Refers to the well-known starship from the Star Trek franchise. In the original continuity, James Kirk self-destructed the USS Enterprise in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, but in Star Trek IV, Kirk was given command of the Enterprise-A, which, like its predecessor was a refitted Constitution-class starship. A similar scenario plays out in Star Trek Beyond.

Some moron totaled my new car while it was parked on the street. Fortunately, I was able to find a replacement that was the same color and had exactly the same options. It's just like what happened with Jim Kirk and the Enterprise-A.

Enterprising

Writing on a piece of paper your most sexually depraved fantasy, then handing it to your partner. When they read it and look at you in disgust, look them straight in the eye and say "make it so".

Person 1: "Hey, are you writing me a poem?"

Person 2: "No, I'm enterprising."

Enterprise Effect

A phenomenon seen in many sci-fi movies/TV programs by which any damage to a spaceship (regardless of location) is seen as sparks and/or fire in the bridge/command center of said spacecraft. First experiences with the effect were on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, piloted by the illustrious/infamous Captain James T. Kirk of Starfleet Command (hence the name).

Scotty: We've 'ad an 'it on on the most unimportant part of the ship Cap'in. I can' hold her!

Kirk: Oh god, the sparks and/or fire are/is everywhere!!1 We're experienceing one hell of an Enterprise Effect.
