"excl" is short for "exclamation," meaning that the word is used on
its own, something you call out, and not as a grammatical part of a
sentence. "Invective" is cursing. In short, this is a swear word.
Don't try to use it the way you use English swear words:
Will someone put the ****ing cat out?
What the **** are you doing?
I don't give a ****.
We don't know how Klingon swear words are used in sentences. Just use
it alone.
baQa'!
