    When I worked in research our lab staff spoke 10 different languages.

    After a couple of years, everyone swore fluently in 10 languages.

    “Wait… THAT’S all the data we have?!?” (for data-driven experiments)

    “We couldn’t get any more subjects?” (for human subject experiments)

    “Is it statistically significant?”

    “FML this isn’t publishable, is it?”

    I always liked what Charles Darwin wrote to J. D. Hooker in 1853:

    After describing a set of forms, as distinct species, tearing up my M.S., & making them one species; tearing that up & making them separate, & then making them one again (which has happened to me) I have gnashed my teeth, cursed species, & asked what sin I had committed to be so punished […]

    It describes perfectly the feelings of a biologist while doing taxonomy work.
