Not that cannot... more or less the cannot as in "if you fight like a klingon it'll kill you" and why it took me till now to think about that i don't know... anyway...

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!
