jIQochbe'! *idiom*mey yap maghajbe'!
But we *do* have a few idioms that are Klingon. The easiest example
are the replacement and secrecy proverbs.
The problem is we can't make them up as in the example above.
HOWEVER I suspect that when the new Klingon CD-ROM comes out we are
going to have a plethora of new canon.
