#
#>>>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]
