Klingon word: Suy'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: *shooy*, type of animal
Source: KGT
_______________________________________________
Suy' SoH
You are a *shooy*. (KGT )
(KGT 196): Calling someone a {Suy'} is quite derogatory, comparable to using the word "pig" in Federation Standard. Mistakenly calling someone a {Suy} (merchant) when the intent is to be insulting and call him or her a {Suy'} will have the effect of making the speaker appear to be foolish and, therefore, weak and hardly in a position to be ridiculing someone else.
PUN: "suet" or "soo-eey!" (the classic pig-call in English)
"Speak Klingon boldly; do not be meek or hesitant." (CK) But enunciate clearly!
