*sigh* I've tried really hard to keep this from being debated as to its
utility, usability, etc. I've even denied the incident in which it
happened ever happened.
It's not an Okrand creation. It's not a word. It's not tlhIngan-Hol. It
was never *intended* to be used or introduced long-term. It was a JOKE for
crying out loud; Krankor was making a *funny* and we laughed and I injured
my head on a table! OK, that makes it work OK as an inside joke among the
folks who were there and those who heard the story, but peHruS is right, it
ISN'T proper Klingon and using it as such would only confuse the
beginners.
*Sigh*... I'm going to have to be very careful which stories I tell!
