Perhaps Voragh could answer this better than I, but we do know a bit about 
Klingon curses.

Someone once published a web site which listed all Klingon curses used in the 
Star Trek shows.  This was useful to see how the curses were used.

KCD has a section on curses.  I'm not going to quote the whole thing for you, 
but the one that usually sticks in my mind is the fact that {QI'yaH} is one of 
the most vile expressions in Klingon.

There's also the section in Power Klingon on {mu'qaDveS}.
