Oh, dear, this is embarrassing...
This isn't a proverb at all: It was an attempt by me to create something
that vaguely rhymes in Klingon, and is at the same time reminiscent of
"tick, tock". I meant for it to be translated "It's long. It's weird.
Klingon chronometer."

"Long" because there are six digits in front of the decimal place. (Canon
stardates have 4 or 5, I think.)
"Weird" because as far as I know, I'm the only one who uses it, and it is
not based on anything directly stated in canon.
And "Klingon chronometer", because it is an attempt at a "Klingon
timekeeping system".

Sorry for the confusion.
