As used in canon:

   ghe''orDaq luSpet 'oH DaqlIj'e'!
   You belong in a black hole in the Netherworld! PK

Trek trivia:

The Enterprise was caught by "a black star of high gravitational 
attraction" in the area of Starbase 9 near Earth. The "rebound" while 
pulling free opened a time warp and sent the ship back to 1964. (TOS 
"Tomorrow is Yesterday")

Cf. also {Dejpu'bogh Hov} "collapsed star" (PK).

Speculation:

*{luSpetHom} "micro-singularity" (i.e. a tiny black hole)?  Until 
discovered in 2151, most humans believed micro-singularities were "a Vulcan 
myth." (ENT "Shuttlepod One")
