You've stumbled onto the wondrous marvels of what some of us call Paramount
Hol or, as less charitable have called it, {Holqoq}.
Some of these terms are definitely Klingon. {petaQ}, {qoH}, and {baQa'} are,
for instance. Others are recognisable as from what we know as Klingon, but
have been mangled by the producers of the TV show. {bIHnuch} is obviously an
attempt to translate "You are a coward!" (since {nuch} means "coward" and
{bIH} means "you all"), although the proper Klingon for "you are a coward"
is {nuch SoH}. Still others have been used by the producers of the shows
without any regard for any canon: "Dor-sho-gha", for example.
