You think you guys (and guy-esses) have problems explaining that you are
honourably learning tlhIngan Hol - I work in a student bar !
Half the punters (I'd like a translation of "PUNTER" - as in customer, but
slightly more patronizing please !), think that I'm a total BOZO, and the
other half ARE total bozos !
OK - now for the KLBC bit...
chom jIH - I'm a bartender
chomghojwI' jIH - I'm a student bartender (ambiguous - I'm a student and a
bartender and/or I'm a bartender in a student bar)
I'm sure this is OK...
wa' HIq HInob ! - Give me a beer !
Now for what I tend to use at 11:20 p.m. ...
naDevvo' yIghoS - <excuse me is I paraphrase> - You (singular) Bugger Off
Home !
and...
naDevvo' peghoS - <ditto but plural BOZO PUNTERS !>
Oddly enough, the last two seem to work !
Qapla' nuqHm (still looking for a better name !)
