Just to add to the pile of advice already:
According to Jim Boniface:

I tend to go back to the root thought instead of attacking a
word at a time. This means I make changes like, "Hit his
throat" instead of "punch him in the throat". BTW, Klingons DO
have ONE greeting, so you could say, "When you and Death meet
for the first time, do not merely say, 'What do you want?'
While he carries you, hit his throat repeatedly!"
Does this help?
