As I'm sure you know by now, we don't usually pay a whole lot of attention
to what Paramount calls "Klingon", because Paramount doesn't usually pay a
whole lot of attention to the Klingon language Okrand designed for them. The
terms "Paramount Hol" and {Holqoq} "so-called language" have been synonymous
for some time.
(That being said, sometimes they *do* get it right, and when they do, it's
normally a matter for some excitement on the list. There were one or two
episodes of "Enterprise" that had passable Klingon in them - the sentence
{vImuHlu' net wuqHa'} springs immediately to mind.)

"He is taking it off"? No, I don't think it would be meant to be interpreted
literally.
