The more time you spend on the list, the more accustomed you'll become to
other people's monikers.

This was a joke. The correct expression is /Hagh qoHpu' neH HeghtaHvIS
SuvwI'pu'/, which translates as "only fools laugh while a warrior dies."
This is a Klingon proverb, from (I believe) PK and KGT.
My original post was about bleeding. peHruS had said he thought it was
funny, so I complained (jokingly) that he was laughing at my pain, the story
wasn't meant to be funny. pagh was punning on the similarity of /Hegh/ and
/regh/. It was quite an excellent pun, btw, I'm disappointed it didn't
occur to me! ;)
