Re: [Tlhingan-hol] "Today is a good day to be that guy"
<div dir="ltr">I get that "that guy' overdoes things to get attention. Like Will Wheaton didn't do when he refrained from saying "Qapla'" to the guy with the tattoo, or the guy with the tattoo was admitting to being for having it. When Will Wheaton said "Today is a good day to be that guy," he was saying it can be cool to be that guy. There are degrees of being that guy, and the tattoo was cool. Lampshade over the head, not cool.<div>

it referred to someone doing or saying something that most people<br>

If "act like a jerk" is the intended idea, don't we have a verb for<br>
it? I'm thinking {nguq} "be arrogant", or {Qaq} "behave in a falsely<br>
honorable fashion". {Qaqlu'meH QaQ jajvam}<br>
