I can see /jIQochbe'be'/ being used, with intentionally bad grammar, in
casual conversation:


tlhIngan wa': botjan yIchu'Ha'.  romuluS Duj wIQaw' rIntaH.

tlhIngan cha': jIQoch!

tlhIngan wej: jIQochbe'.

tlhIngan cha': jIQochbe'*BE'*!!!  'ej HoD jIH!  botjan yIchu'qa'!!


As such, it would be marked usage that everyone would understand.  Rather
like someone adding "NOT!" after an English sentence.
