[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: vey'

[mayqel qunenoS]

I notice that the quote comes from nIqolay Q. What makes this quote so
important, that it appears on the comments of the word of the day ?

I mean no disrespect to nIqolay Q, but since I usually add comments from
the word of the day to my notes, I wonder what makes this specific note so
important.
