Use {rur} "resemble} for similes.  E.g.

   bISuvtaHvIS tlhIngan Darurbe'.
   When you fight you don't resemble a Klingon.

   bISuvlaHbe'; tlhIngan Darurbe'.
   You can't fight; you don't resemble a Klingon.

   bISuvHa'; tera'ngan Darur.
   You fight as badly as a Terran.
   ("you 'mis-fight'; you resemble a Terran")

And if you're stuck, using {batlh} "honorably" or {batlhHa'} "dishonorably" 
rarely goes amiss:

   batlh bISuvbe'!

   batlhHa' bISuv!
