#
#>>>Know any cussing words in klingon?
#
#
#A few years ago for Glen Proechel's qIb HeHDaq website I
#compiled a list of
#the known Klingon curse words, examples of their usage, as well as
#-unofficial- speculation garnered from a variety of sources:
#
#http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8853/curse.html
#
#N.B. I wrote this well before "Klingon for the Galactic
#Traveller" was
#published; it does not reflect the additional insights presented
#therein. Still, there's enough for those who want to say
#something other
#than {petaQ} *p'tak*!
#
#pe'vIl mu'qaDmey tIbach!
#
#Which means:
#
# The commonly heard sendoff "Curse well!" - roughly
#comparable in usage
#to the
# Federation Standard "Good luck!" - literally means, "Shoot curses
#forcefully!"
# Curses are considered a weapon of a sort which must be
#propelled to their
# targets. ["The Klingon Way", p.148]

#Klingon--that's
#Ca'Non Master of the Klingons hard!" (Montgomery Scott to
