personally I think it was meant to be presented as a quirk in Kirrahe's character. and also meant to be amusing, like Mordin's "patter songs". it succeeded.
Shepard's speeches are the worst in any game.
I'd have loved for my Shep to pay homage to Kirrahe by using his famous line.
Lol, Aria's speeches are friggin terrible, and the lazy ass programming for the scenes add a spice to it. Hackett is underwhelming at most, but Shepard's ME3 speeches are great.
Also, "We fight or we die" is incredibly misunderstood contextually. Shep's basically saying that to get them in the mindset that attempting to even negotiate with the reapers won't work. He's basically being blunt and honest, given the way the politicians and beauracrats tend to try diplomacy over fighting.

Shepard's delivery on that phrase was sub-par, it made him look like he didn't know what to say and went with a cliche. He had no passion in his words, it was too serious, cold, blunt, evasive.
I was something like : "whatever dude, we fight or we die " . It wasn't like " give me liberty or give me death ! " .
At least that's how I perceived it. I'm not saying that Mark Meer isn't a good actor, but nobody's perfect. This was not his best performance in my humble opinion. The female Shepard sounds better as a renegade in that speech.
Most of them are rather mediocre, but if I had choose just one, I'd go with Hackett's speech before Priority: Earth. It's pretty meh to begin with, but what made it terrible (to me) is the following line:
"They will advance until our last city falls, but we will not fall".
Mostly because I'm reminded of Boreale's speech from Soulstorn:
"And if we die this deh we die in gloareh, we die heroes’ deffs, but we shall not die, no! It is the enemeh who will tehste deff and defeet!"
