[tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "god damn"

[Anthony Appleyard]

When "damn" has no longer any condemnatory or religious meaning and is merely an emphatic, translate it by a plain emphatic.
"god damn food" means (to me) that there is a complaint about the food, perhaps the quality, perhaps the timing such as a 3-course meal offered when I have 5 minutes to get to the railway station.

nuqjatlh? The first means the food is great, and the second means it's terrible.
