I found a filkish song titled "Give Me Oomox, Human". I was confused, since I had never watched Star Trek, and thought, "Is this a Klingon thing"? I wikipediaed "oomox" and discovered that oo-mox, properly spelt with a hyphen, was a /Ferengi/ thing.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Klingon doesn't have a word for it, of course -- yet.
