> (qep’a’ 2020):  Maltz says Klingons don’t get colds (though, despite what he says, Klingons are not immune from other, somewhat similar afflictions). Another way to refer to this Earth disease, generally unsympathetically, is Ptera’ rop bIr}, which is, of course, a misguided translation.

I imagine that in practical use, Klingons would not use this phrase just 
specifically for the cold virus, but would apply it generally to all 
respiratory viruses originating on Earth.
