{maqDar} comes from (DS9 "House of Quark") : A drunken Klingon in Quark's Bar has nearly passed out and is out of money but wants credit. Quark goes to show him out. He bangs the table several times with a mug to waken the man, then boldly says, "My name is Quark!" Kozak awakens, growls stands up shakily, saying: "You dare to talk to me like that? You pathetic *mak'dar*!" He then draws his knife and attacks Quark.
