Star Trek box-office effect

The phenomenon in which a film with a large cult following (i.e., Star Trek, Star Wars, Robert Rodriguez movies)opens to large first-weekend box-office grosses, followed by a steep drop-off in attendence shortly thereafter.

Guy: Did you see that Austin Powers 3 beat Attack of the Clones in just its second week of release?

Girl: Well, no duh. Only geeks line up for that crap, and after they see it opening weekend, no one else goes. It's a total Star Trek effect.

star trek phone

A flip style cell phone, usually low end by today's standards, resembling the Star Trek communicator device used in the original series.

I'm surprised no one has defined the star trek phone yet on Urban Dictionary, lots of people use this term.

Daffney put down her star trek phone yesterday, just stared at me and struck up a conversation, never telling the other person to hold.

The Star Trek Generation

People who grew up watching Star Trek during the mid 1960s. This was during a time where the technology back then wasn't as good as it is now so Star Trek was one of the only things that kept them the most entertained because of the futuristic elements within the show in which they envisioned the future to be like.

My grandpa is part of the Star Trek generation. It was one of his all time favorite shows.
