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.

The space vessel ("Starship") which serves as the main setting for the television and movie series Star Trek. Within Star Trek canon there have been 7 "Starships" with that designation: NX-01, NCC-1701 A-E, and the original NCC-1701 ("No bloody A, B, C or D").
Kirk to Picard: "A bit of advice: Don't let them promote you, don't let them retire you, don't let them do anything to take you off the bridge of (the Enterprise)".

A sexual position based on the shape of the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. It is performed as follows: The girl lies on her stomach on a table with her waist at the edge of the table. She bends her knees at a 90 degree angle so that her legs are perpendicular to the table and her feet are parallel to the table, resembling the warp nacelles of the actual Starship Enterprise. Her hands should be holding onto her legs and her head and back arched up, to resemble the saucer section of the Enterprise. The man stands behind her and enters her like a shuttle craft into the cargo bay.
"Last night I Enterprised my virgin girlfriend. I realized that I boldly went where no man has gone before!"
Note: It is often common to yell out during the act of performing The Enterprise, "Prepare for a light speed thrust maneuver; make it so."
