[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: 	chur
Part of speech: 	verb
Definition: 	be uncomfortable
Source: 	qep'a' 24 [2017]
_______________________________________________

(qep'a' 2017):  because of clothes, room temperature, etc. (involved with physical unpleasantness)

CULTURAL NOTES:
(CK):  No matter where you stay the accommodations will be stark compared to what you are used to. Klingons are predisposed to rejecting anything whose sole function is physical comfort. They will, however, make some concessions for visitors.

(CK):   Since Klingons are accommodating of foreigners, guest rooms in hotels do come equipped with a bed, but it's most often made of the same material as the floor.
  When Captain K'Vada showed Picard to his quarters aboard his Bird-of-Prey, he slapped the hard bed - actually, more like a sleeping shelf - and sneered, "You will sleep Klingon-style. We do not cushion our bodies by putting down a pad."  Nonplussed, Picard slapped the "bed" himself and replied, "Good. I like it that way."  (TNG "Unification I")
  When Worf temporarily moved onto the Defiant to get away from the station, he removes the Starfleet-issue mattress from the bed in his quarters, pats the hard bare metal frame and grunts in satisfaction.  Jadzia has observed him and asks, “Better?”  Worf replies, “Much.”  (DS9 “Bar Association”)
