I tend to say {Qu'vatlh} to indicate an emphatic "Oops!" or to mean
something like "I'm in big trouble." I am sure you're aware of the
equivalent term (hint: it's scatological) in English. If I were in
an environment where I spoke Klingon often, I'd probably shorten it
to {va} to indicate a not-so-emphatic "Oops." Usually I've used it
when I have made a particularly severe grammatical or typographical
error in posting to this list, one which completely obliterates the
meaning of what I was trying to say.
(Hey, check out the perfectly justified paragraph! Neat, huh?)
