      Yes in IV he attempts to adopt period-specific profanities to better blend into the 20th century. This is also why he has the headband: to hide his Vulcan ears from people who’ve never seen an alien. However in typical strict-logic fashion, he applies the profane modifiers and emphases arbitrarily, to great comic effect. There is no meme here, this is direct out of the film’s script.
